The King Edward Accord, Queen of the North and our royally obtuse pacifists

Canada is teeming with monarchist heritage alright, but the happenings of the past week may have the country's loyalists reaching for their smelling salts.

First off the King Edward Accord, so dubbed because the Liberal Party of Canada was bringing party bigwigs together and unveiling its manifesto at the King Edward Hotel in downtown Toronto. The purpose was to bring together the warring factions and heal old sores and wounds in the party, after a defeat in the federal election by the Harper Tories sent the Liberal government packing. Unfortunately for Canadian Conservatives the love-in fest was apparently somewhat successful.

Second, the Queen of the North, a large British Columbia passenger car ferry, actually sunk like the Titanic in the middle of the night after hitting a shoal during a routine voyage through the scenic Inside Passage near Prince Rupert. Two passengers apparently went down with the vessel. So much for our reputation as a first world country.

And finally, Burkean Canuck says it all regarding our criminally stupid pacifists:

"This is a classic case of cognitive dissonance, writ large. A pacifist, anti-military group relies, first, on armed forces for their rescue, then are moved to a safe area of Iraq secured by armed forces, then they are given transport by armed forces back home. Meanwhile, people from among those they travelled to Iraq to help, first, kidnapped them, held them virtually incommunicado in threat of their lives, killed one of their number, and held them some more.

And yet, these same people have nothing but thanks and appreciation for their captors, and nothing at all for their rescuers and protectors."
