“Special” on Parliament Hill

December 12, 2014 by Andrea Mrozek 13 Comments

Some think that a committee of bureaucrats gave pro-lifers special treatment when they planted 100,000 pink and blue flags representing 100,000 lives lost in Canada to abortion annually on Parliament Hill.

Having wiped the tears of laughter from my cheek, let me now continue.

The group that planted the flags received “special” permission because all displays on Parliament Hill need “special” permission. In a very “special” process called “applying” that you and I can all do, because it’s Parliament Hill and we as Canadians own that “special,” “special” space and can “apply” to “use” “it.”

So. By way of example, if the Society of People With Heads Up Their Asses (SOPWHUTA) wanted to plant some flags on Parliament Hill, they’d need “special” permission, too.

And would anyone look into that?

No. Perhaps because that’s a club they are in.

PS Who, by the way, actually believes that the Prime Minister is personally involved with approvals for displays on Parliament Hill? Really.

PPS This non-story really got my goat. Because if there is one thing that is very, very, VERY true, particular with the current government, it’s that pro-lifers don’t get special treatment. Precisely because the government is so keen on drawing lines between themselves and pro-lifers, more often the treatment is a negative special treatment. So this story simply draws attention to the great abyss between what actually happens and what people think happens.

    This post is “hilarious”! No wait, just hilarious. I don’t actually need the quotation marks if its factually accurate…

    Yes, I heard the outrage about the flags on CBC last week. Interestingly, there wasn’t a peep from the media when the flags were planted; I expect that they didn’t want to give pro-lifers any attention at that time. Took them how many months to come up with this?
