Apparently I have lost followers because of my tweeting about the #KamloopsResidentialSchool Some exiting followers have messaged me saying the tweets lack respect for Canada. I have a message for them, since I know they still peak, even though they are no longer "followers."
My respect for Canada is not defined by a blind loyalty to the government of this day, much less governments of the past and ancient past. My public and private thoughts about the Kamloops kids and Canadian responsibility come from a place of respect for Canadian values.
We don't treat people this way, especially children who are in our custody. Of course I support Mayor Watson's decision to have flags lowered in our nation's capital. Is Mayor Watson disrespecting Canada? But let me be blunt. I honestly don't give a fig how many on this platform
follow or unfollow on any given day. Canadians have made me the luckiest person on earth. They have sustained all my dreams & beyond for nearly 1/2 a century. They know how much love I have for them. Twitter followers - not a currency we use to measure love & respect for Canada.
