Canadian of the Day: Steve Flanagan

"This van was parked outside of the Women...                        Image via Wikipedia
 Steve combines two disparate stories for a whammo letter to the editor:
“It’s peculiar how are [sic] justice system works,” wrote Steve Flanagan. “You can be a page in Parliament with a sign stating ‘Stop Harper’ and you will be celebrated. You can also be standing outside an abortion clinic with a sign stating ‘Stop abortion’ [i.e., Linda Gibbons]
and you will be jailed.” 
For pointing out the disconnect between a cheap stunt and principled action, Steve Flanagan is the Ball Bounces Canadian of the Day.

Way to go, Steve!

Canadian of the Day: Matthew

Now for a bit of positive reporting to balance the dreary subject matter of recent posts. This post is on the whole Canadian student loan brouhaha ("poor me, the government lent me all this money and now they expect me to pay it back!").
"You could have saved money before attending university or you could have worked part-time (as I did for the whole of my university education). Whether you depended on OSAP or you used it to finance four years of good times, you borrowed money from the government which means you borrowed it from every citizen and it is your responsibility and no one else’s to make sure that you honour the agreement." -- Matthew
Matthew is on his way to becoming a fine conservative and a distinguished citizen contributing to Canadian society. Well said, Matthew.
