Some People Still Refuse to Get it

THE LEFT WING

Sid Ryan is the leader of the largest, most powerful union of public servants here in Canada. Recently he called upon not only his union members but the rest of Canada to boycott anything made in Israel due to the Lebanon crisis. Even his own union members said he was nuts. A lot of Liberals/Democrats might agree with him. I say let him and the Taliban Jack Laytons of the world go talk the terrorists out of doing what they're doing. Here it is, reprinted in it's entirety. Thank God we still have the freedom of the press over here, a freedom our vets fought and died for and the brave soldiers of today maintain. This article was printed in a very conservative newspaper. I wonder what would happen to Mr. Ryan if he had such a big mouth in say Iraq or Afghanistan.

I think I know what the messages on Jimmy Carter's voice mail sound like. Last month, the former U.S. president released his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. And I bet he's getting an earful. Last spring, 900 delegates to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario convention overwhelmingly passed a resolution expressing support for the global campaign against Israeli apartheid. At the time, Resolution 50 was met by fierce and vitriolic opposition from the usual suspects over at the National Post and from within Jewish organizations such as B'nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress. Both of these organizations ran campaigns and petitions against me and my union.
