Seriously.

(Though it is rather stupid that we are not celebrating this more. This was a major milestone in Canada's development of an identity independent of England.) |
Are you serious?
Of course it's a partisan move!
How else can you explain millions of dollars for the War of 1812 commemoration or 150th anniversary of confederation ads three years early while spending 50k (50k??!?!!?!?!!) on celebrating the 50th anniversary of our most revered icon?
Oh wait, ya that's right, it's Pearson's flag.
Celebrating what amounts to a Liberal achievement does not fit in with Harper's election year plan. Of course, having 150th anniversary of confederation ads on tv three years early does.
Anybody with their blinders even down their nose can see this is blatantly partisan.
