We the undersigned, like many Canadians, find it absolutely reprehensible that our Government continues to cater to the French as evidenced by the most recent cancellation of the re-enactment of the battle on the Plains of Abraham.

Under the pretense of not being able to provide security for its citizens after a few radical separatists threatened violence, surely Canada has shown the world not only that it cannot possibly protect any visitor, including dignitaries, from harm on Canadian soil but also that the rule of law and order will not be pursued in Canada.

This cowardly retreat of the current Conservative Government sets a very dangerous precedent whereby any event across Canada (or possibly just those opposed by French separatists) can be thwarted simply with a phone call or anonymous email.

Surely this is not the Canada that we can be proud of on the world stage or the country which would inspire judicial confidence amongst its peer nations.

We, the undersigned, therefore demand that our government do the following immediately:

-re-instate the re-enactment on the Plains of Abraham

-ensure that its citizen's right to be protected is upheld during such an event

-discontinue henceforth from being manipulated by the will of a small fraction of the country
