I’m glad Prince Harry has done one worthwhile thing in his life in speaking up for a bullied soldier in his unit in Alberta.

It’s nice for change.

Prince Harry has a long record of thoughtless and graceless and even nasty behavior.

See: http://chuckmangrotesques.blogspot.ca/2013/01/harry-is-prince-mad-he-does-have.html

I happen to believe Harry got the worst part of his mother’s genes, the late Princess being attractive and charming in public but privately suffering from serious mental conditions, something of which her family has a history.

“We knew Harry had been in Afghanistan, but he was made to go to Alberta, too? Is there a reason why he is being punished?”

Harry was not made to go to Afghanistan.

He insisted, to the point of threatening to resign his commission, on being sent there for some “action.” All quite shameful actually.

The high command had decided that it was too risky to send him when he asked, but after his whining and threatening to quit his commission, he was sent for one brief tour which was mainly an extended photo-op of the Prince and the machine gun, something which might just as well have been done on a sound stage.

He insisted and was sent again, managing to kill someone and spent a good deal of time back home bragging about it.

This is a bored, not-too-bright young man with an apparent thirst for brutality.

“Let’s give Albertans the future they desire and deserve”

Why do Albertans “deserve” a different future than the one they now have, one which by world standards is pretty exceptional?

More flatulence from Canada’s Sunday School teacher of Right Wing politicos.

Though I have to say: Gee, Preston, I do like the new, cool-guy look in your official photo.

Does it indicate, perhaps, you are undergoing the Middle-Age Crazies?
