| I tend to disagree that Canada was thrown under the bus. McNaughton had been given the full support of the Canadian Government at the time to act as he saw fit. As Commander of the First Canadian Army, McNaughton, along with General Crerar, Commander of 1St Canadian Corp (both vets of WW1)had been s... |

| Bart: Can you clarify your number 11: 11. The Right to Act. No person shall be restrained from an action that violates the conscience or deeply held beliefs of another person.
