Yep, this is the fine young man you've been hearing about who was photographed taking a piss on the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Canada Day. If he and his friends had brains, they'd come foward with a public apology. But come on, does this guy look like he has brains?The ways this could be worse is if he is:
A) in the Canadian military
B) from Quebec
C) American
Update: there's a possibility the nimrod is from Montreal. God I hope the separtists don't pounce on this.
Do yourself a favour and read about the type of sacrifices the National War Memorial represents. Read "July 1, 1916: The Somme of all loss By David MacFarlane" from last Saturday's Globe & Mail (register at site to read whole article). It's a moving piece on the bloody price Newfoundland paid in The Battle of the Somme 90 years ago. Also available from the same paper is a review of "The Battle of the Somme: The Heroism and Horror of War by Martin Gilbert".
Oh and those jackasses who pissed on the Memorial? They should have to cover the cost for security and maintenance on the War Memorial for the next year.

Apparently the oldest of the group volunteers at a veteran's hospital in Montreal. If so, nothing the courts do to him will compare with what he can expect when he gets home.
