Red Fridays To Support Our Canadian Troops

A few months ago, the families of Canadian soldiers based in Petawawa started wearing red on Fridays as a show of support for our troops overseas.

Tomorrow, Friday September 8th, I will be wearing red for the first time in support of our troops. I hope you, too, decide to wear red to show you care about them.

Many may say that the troops would never know, but their are family members of our troops all over Canada and many of them could use the show of support too. They speak to their loved ones often, and if we all wear red, maybe, just maybe, we can put some lift in the heart of our soldiers that may carry them through some of the tough battles they are facing.

Red Fridays. Spread the word.

    Just a warning about the Trudeau Special coming up which may incite more Jihadists in Canada like the Brampton-17 whoms Muslim title had nothing to do with the terror plot against the dirty infidels and Zionist pig supporters , the Michael Moore style mock-u-mentary of canada and the RCMP is full of half-truths and overt lies.

    Keep in mind that the 5 people held on Sec-Certs
    have some unique conditions for their being held .

    1 – They are non-Citizen/refugees
    2 – They are all males with ties to the middle east
    3 – Refugees are protected from deportation for criminal convictions .
    4 – They can be deem a Failed-refugee and deported
    5 – Identities are protected for safety reasons
    and MP’s are forbidden from uses their names in Public or citing specific cases .
    6 – Refugees can avoid deportation by claiming a fear of torture , actual or perceived.
    7 – The evidence against them have been viewed by a Judge to see the grounds for the risk to Canadians .
    8 – Some of the 5 have been accused of terror links by other refugees that fled tyranny under Islamic rulers and witnessed them at or near Al-Qaeda camps that they denied being near or at.
    9 – CAIR-Canada has supported the 5 claims as refugees even though CAIR had members in prison for terror funding or immigrant smuggling in the USA .

    One of Trudeau’s BIG-lies is the myths about Maher Arar , Arar’s inquiry into his period in a Syrian jail was posted on the Gov.ca site with all the transcripts.
    Myth busters for Arar

    After CAIR-Can coached him to not help CSIS and the RCMP investigate Momin Khawaja for terrorism link
    Mr.Arar fled canada with his wife and 2 kids to head for the Middle east even though he claimed refugees status from Syria in 1989 , Arar left his family to head to Tunisia where he boarded a Flight by himself
    to enter the USA at JFK Airport .
    Mr.Arar was questioned by Customs and Immigration
    when he deplaned just as everyone else was on International Flights and especially for late night arrivals , he was still a Syrian Citizen but produced
    a Canadian passport as a dual Citizen.
    Arar’s story for leaving his family behind didn’t makes sense and the return to Canada via Tunisia/JFK/Ottawa was explained by his Airmiles schedule and Flight restriction .
    CAIR usa and Sheema Khan blamed the USA for 9/11
    because of weak Security that allowed 19 middle east muslim males to get into the Country in the first place , becuase of this mocking of Immigrantion shortcomings the Customs agent Profiled this Middle East/Muslim/male/Syrian with a canadian passport and travelling alone at night trying to enter the USA.
    CAIR-Can was part of the Arar inquiry and claimed Islamophobia and Racial-profiling in Canada and the USA
    for Muslims, but Arar was only “Refused ” entry to American and Tunisia refused to let him back in on a return flight.
    After several hours only JORDAN would let Arar
    fly into their Country to return to his family in the area , he was flown to JORDAN on a private jet by the USA and dropped off .
    While in JORDAN , Arab kidnappers grabbed Arar and put him in a suv , he claimed to be driven blindfolded
    for several hours and was put in a cell he believed was in Syria based on what he knew once released.
    Syria and Arabs are alleged to have tortured him and yet his CAIR lawyer filed a 400,000,000.00 Civil suit against canada for his injuries ( figure thta one?) in Syria and he dropped it once a Inquiry was called to appease him and CAIR.

    Sheema Khan just wrote in the G&M that we caused the Islamic terrorism becuase of foreign Policies
    that incite Muslims to murder to protect Islam, Khan is no longer at CAIR-Canada but she still supports Sharia-Law for Muslims in Canada and CAIR has links to Hamas and Hezbollah.

    Go read the O’Connor transcripts and get the facts, the Islamofacsists and Whahabbi Muslims in canada
    have fabricated a Islamophobia to impose Islamic teaching to all areas of the Government workplace and Public Schools as we see in Toronto , Trudeau jr and many of the NDP have been fooled to see the Terrorists as Victims and freedom-fighters .
    Don’t get the news from the CBC or Star , and use Millde east islamic sites to see the Quranic verses to justify murdering non-muslims, Western Imams and clerics cite the Quran but never produce one for you to read it for the context of who is a “Innocent Civilian” and what qualifies as terrorism or defending Islam under Jihad.

    anonymous, I’m too old to enlist.

    Roger, you have posted three times and all three posts have been very, shall we say, long winded, and this one is way off topic. I would appreciate it if you could keep your posts to a couple of paragraphs pertinent to the post.

    If you want a forum for your thoughts, please email me at webmaster@webventuresinc.com and I can help you start your own free blog up.

    Hunter, the ribbons are yellow but the idea of Red Friday was for clothing to support the troops. I didn’t start this so those in my comments making remarks contrary to this request by the families of soldiers are likely people who do not support our troops.

    As I mentioned, this is something the families of the troops started. You can find out more here and here and here and here (page 10), and I could find many others.

    I do notice this red tshirt campaign makes the yellow ribbons stand out quite well on the families in that last link. Perhaps that is why.

    I just know I will be putting my kids in red tshirts tomorrow and wearing a red sweatshirt myself.

    Hunter, yellow ribbons are for troops returning home. Red is for the troops that are still there.

    We have flown a Canadian flag on our step since Afghanistan started. It signifies 2 things; our support of our soldiers and thier mission and that my wifes son, my stepson is a member of the military.

    Red would be the choice since the colours of at least the Royal Canadian Dragoons is red, I think the same goes for the Royal Canadian Regiment.
