July 8th Line of Hearses on 401 express??????
 

I took a pic with my dad's camera to upload it on to my hard drive when I came across this pic he took (dated 08/07/07). I found it weird and I'm wondering whether you guys heard anything about it.

A genuine tribute to the fallen

It was shortly past 5 p.m. on a muggy Sunday evening when we spotted them. They were hard to miss.

On all of the overpasses that straddle Highway 401, from near Belleville, Ont., right into Toronto, people stood -- dozens of them, hundreds of them. Many held Canadian flags, and some had laced the flags to the sides of the overpasses. Along the highway's route, these people -- average, everyday people, by the looks of them, unused to giving speeches or reciting talking points -- stood above the 401, waiting. Keeping vigil.

They had gathered to glimpse six black hearses. Speeding westward through the night, the hearses carried the bodies of Captain Jefferson Francis, of Manitoba; Captain Matthew Dawe, of Ontario; Master Corporal Colin Bason, of British Columbia; Corporal Jordan Anderson, of Nunavut; Corporal Cole Bartsch of Alberta; and Private Lane Watkins, also from Manitoba. All of them killed last week in Afghanistan.

The six fallen soldiers, in flag-draped caskets, arrived at CFB Trenton at about 5:15 p.m. on Sunday, where they were met by their families and various dignitaries. A couple hours after that, police cruisers escorted the men along the 401 to Toronto, for autopsies. In the Ontario farming community of Grafton, according to one report, more than 10% of the town's population crowded onto an overpass to see them.

On many of the overpasses were fire trucks, police cars and ambulances, their flashers flashing, their crews standing on the hoods, and waving to the traffic down below. None of the people, from what I could see, were urging anyone to defend the war in Afghanistan. They were there,instead, to support these young men, and their families, too. Some of the people were crying

pity it happened. the canadian government sending its troops to fight the american war. and look, people are dieing for him and his oil.

really.. dont buy gas than.. u see.. u cant..

so who are they really fighting for? U and ME so we can fill up every day.

Anyone who thinks this is about oil is ****ing ignorant. The Iraq war alone has cost 540 billion USD, you know how much ****ing oil you can buy for that money. oh and BTW Afghanistan is nowhere near being an oil-rich country.

What?? It is about oil...AMONG OTHER THINGS....but not mainly oil. Just making sure you're not saying it has nothing to do with oil.:smilie_da Keep in mind that the media is the devil these days and oil might just be worth 540 billion in the future.

I think that Oil played a very small role in Bushs mind when he decided to invade Iraq, and even if it played a big role it doesn't matter it won't change for the US Oil market.
