Ancient History: Alexandre Boulerice

Alexandre Boulerice: Ancient history, we might think. Especially in a fast-paced world that measures its news-cycles by the hour. But with the recent anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge Boulerice now a member of Parliament has been targeted by a strident campaign led by Sun Media pundits and commentators. And the prime minister, according to The Star. The message? Canada: Love it or Leave It and Six years ago, Qu bec activist Alexandre Boulerice denounced the First World War as butchery. The war cost millions of lives and enriched countless capitalists. He praised the peace activists who, almost a century ago, tried to stop the senseless carnage. Stephen Harper said Boulerices comments were outrageous, inflammatory, unacceptable. Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney accused Boulerice of insulting veterans, demanding a formal apology. Ron Cundell of something called VeteranVoice.info denounced the Quebec New Democrat for spitting on Canadas history, calling on Boulerice to get out of Canada: The only apology I will accept is when he walks off Parliament Hill for the last time . . . hopefully to whatever country he wants to go to.
