I was shocked and dismayed today to read this blog entry today: Hate groups don’t belong in Canada – Go home Westboro Baptist Church!  I can't believe a group that calls itself a CHURCH would invade the funeral of the victim of such a horrible crime. And their reasons make about as much sense as ... well, I can't think of anything as poorly reasoned.

It also makes me sad that they smear the reputation of our good friends and neighbours to the south, who already have such a bad rap to deal with. I have met few individual Americans who actually deserve the reputation the country has. It's stories like this that fuel the fire.
