Today, I notice Tracy Glynn from Fredericton Peace Coalition picture on the front page of the Irving paper so I decided to pay her a little visit.

Tracy is a gal who works behind the scenes and often joins a protest.

She’s a very smart one!!! If she finds something that is not right? She'll stand up and be counted!!!! There's nothing wrong with the girl.

But this time around? I didn’t agree with her stand of removing the Yellow Ribbons.

So being Charles? I decided to pay her a little visit.


Once I came face to face with Tracy. I proudly showed her my support our troops T-shirt.

I don’t believe we should be in Afghanistan but I wear the t-shirt in memory of the Canadian Soldiers who died during these last few months.

I quickly notice that little Tracy was a little stressed out. She told me the paper didn’t have all the facts of what she said?

WHAT??? THE IRVINGS WROTE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T RIGHT????

WOW!!!!

Tracy was a little upset with all the attention this issue got across Canada.

Fredericton's mayor is calling a peace coalition misguided as the group pressures local businesses to stop displaying yellow decals calling for support of Canadian troops in Afghanistan.

The Fredericton Peace Coalition did succeed on one issue???

They bought this emotional issue to the forefront.

Tracy reminded me the October campaign against the Ribbons hasn’t even began yet and the public have been debating this issue big time during the past 48 hours.

Spinks and Gypsy Blog are even into the issue.

You are allowed to speak your mind and we’re allowed to post or wear a yellow Ribbon.

This is what makes Canada such a beautiful place to live.

Hang in there Girl and keep on the fine work!!!!
