Is it true? It wouldn’t surprise me. At the very least, it’s worth a laugh. Or cringe…

Paraphrased:

“[Donald Rumsfeld] staffers have been phoning city officials … and strongly urging them to structure Fourth of July celebrations around the war in Iraq.”

Canadians can participate in something equally ridiculous this Canada Day by revisiting proud moments in our history. I humbly suggest Front de Liberation, Western alienation, or the wartime internment of Japanese Canadians.
