Movie Synopsis on pg. 4
The Eastend Edge is a proud
supporter of our community
and is distributed across
North America.
Publisher: Jeanne Kaufman
Most of the time we’re satisfied residents and taxpayers of our country; we don’t have to
do much more than that to qualify to live here and enjoy the benefits Canada has to offer.
We have our homes, our jobs, businesses, education plans and pensions. We know our
rights or we know where to get a lawyer to advise us. If we’re concerned or outraged we
can go to the press to announce our views. We may not win every outcome but we have
the right to be heard. We have the right to vote and the right to self defence. All of this
makes us citizens but none of it makes us patriots.
Patriotism is a love of and commitment to one’s country; usually a willingness to fight for
its rights and beliefs. Being proud to be a Canadian isn’t the same thing. Being a compla-
cent and well fed member of society doesn’t qualify either. Since there are few threats to
our lives and freedoms our commitment has generally not been tested. Griping about the
government doesn’t count as patriotism. Do we know what patriotism is anymore or are
we just entrenched commercial patrons of economic opportunity?
To love your country should not suggest mindless support. Rather, it should encompass
elements of dissent and defence. There’s never complete agreement. There’s never a way
to keep everyone satisfied. However, there is a shared belief that this country and the free-
doms it represents have a unique value and are worth contention. The differences of opin-
ion can stretch on nearly endlessly. It should be the case that every argument is extended
as far as possible in attempting to find a peaceful solution. Sometimes though the degree
of contention moves far beyond verbal debate. Sometimes, rarely we hope, it requires a
willingness to defend.
Those who have defended their country have not
necessarily agreed with the decisions made. There
just was no other choice at the time. At that point,
when the time for dissent ran out, people were will-
ing, even with personal reservations, to defend. In
that there is the glimmering of patriotism. This was
not a chauvinistic, zealous or belligerent concept.
This was acting when all other avenues were closed.
We seldom have to make commitments on this
level. When we do, they’re best made as a last re-
sort. We’re fortunate that so many were willing to
commit when they were needed. We hope never to
have to ask that of our people again. But now, we
remember with both gratitude and respect. JK

A Father’s Prayer
by General Douglas MacArthur
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be
strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when
he is afraid; one who will be proud and
unbending in honest defeat, and humble
and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not
be where his backbone should be; a son
who will know Thee and that to know
himself is the foundation stone of knowl-
edge.
Lead him I pray, not in the path of ease
and comfort, but under the stress and
spur of difficulties and challenge. Here
let him learn to stand up in the storm;
here let him learn compassion for those
who fail.
Build me a son whose heart will be clear,
whose goal will be high; a son who will
master himself before he seeks to master
other men; one who will learn to laugh,
yet never forget how to weep; one who
will reach into the future, yet never for-
get the past.
And after all these things are his, add, I
pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that
he may always be serious, yet never take
himself too seriously. Give him humility,
so that he may always remember the sim-
plicity of true greatness, the open mind
of true wisdom, the meekness of true
strength.
Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper,
have not lived in vain.
