I hope the very best for our hero.

legal_eagle said:I would like to add this...I have been running one of the sites that has been involved in this campaign and there has been international support for it, particularly from the Commonwealth countries. Canadian support has been proportionatly higher than any other, Australian support came a close second. I would like to express my sincerely heartfelt thanks to any of you who were involved in this. I have no idea what the political climate in Canada is like but and whether or not I should say this, but I am an unashamedly pround British Royalist. An ex-soldier who lives by the motto "God Save The Queen", so I take great pride in knowing that our cousins still care about matters such as this.
Please don't judge us by what you hear or read, it is 99.99% bullsh!it. The British people, HM Forces especially know all about what Canada has done for us over the years. In the Army especially, we all know who took Vimy Ridge after everyone else had failed. There are barracks in the UK named after that battle (i.e. Vimy barracks, 1st battalion etc etc.) Don't think we have forgotten you. The yanks like to think they won every war that was ever worth fighting but we know that you were always there from the time the first shot was fired, not a few years later and only after it affected you personally. Take my word for it, you are held in the highest regard over here. God bless you Canada, from me personally and I know that I speak for my comrades too.
God Save The Queen.
P.S. if you are against my Royalist views then please don't take offence, I don't want to start an argument, you are your own country now and your future lies entirely in your own hands. I would just be happy if you stayed with us, that's all..

So it has nothing to do with Xena, The Warrior Princess?niner domestic said:I hope you meant Xenophobia as opposed to zenophobia
