Mr. Don Cherry once again told the world about the "support the troops" ballcaps. Even had the web site up on the screen for all to see. He said ten thousand were ordered since the last hockey game. Yaaaaaaa Hoooooo Mr. Cherry.

Nice but you need your actual licence plate at the front, at least in ON.

It's not Saxon. It's Norse. Friday is named for the Norse Goddess "Freya" who was Odin's wife and the Goddess of Fertility.
That naming convention as well as the other days started with Latin names for Latin Gods and eventually were converted to local language and local God's.
Examples:
Venus's Day became Freya's Day became Friday.
Jupiter's Day became Thor's Day became Thursday.
Etc.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get the red hat Cherry had on the other night?

Wow, 8 months of research for that little nugget? That's tenacity my friend. Incidentally, Saxons, Angles, Norse et al, were all Germanic tribal societies, having common linguistic and religious roots. Odin is to Norse as Woden is to Saxon, etc, but thanks for the lesson.

In reply to Frankie's earlier post, here are two very similar versions of his proposed car plate design. In fact the design was not changed a bit - only one of them has a blurry CADPAT background which I thought created more of a contrast with the ribbon. As for me, I think I'll stick my home-made T-shirt which I have been proudly displaying the design everywhere in Ottawa/Gatineau for a few months now. Thanks to poor quality of the public transportation services in the Ottawa region for having me stand everyday for 30 mins waiting for my bus. That has likely doubled the number of persons that would otherwise have noticed my advertisement. 8)

In Quebec it's not an issue either... that's why most auto dealers put their own logo on the front plate and make sure that they are bolted such that you won't be able to remove them using common tools - that's without even considering the sticker they usually put at the back of your car (sorry, I know this comment was totally unrelated but I had to make it). Anyways, the whole point is, in Quebec you are allowed to have whatever you want as a front plate.

If someone knows where to get the yellow or camo ribbon. As an ex-serviceman living in the Greater Toronto Area I've seen the yellow and camo ribbons around Toronto quite a bit. Just don't know where to get them. The comment about not knowing what the ribbbon is for in the Toronto area isn't warranted. True we have a diverse culture but you'd be amazed at how many people support the troops. We need to publicize how to get the ribbons.
This shouldn't be a bloody mystery on how to get it.
Cheers

sabot60, any Canex or MFRC should have them in stock. Trenton, Kingston, and Borden are close to you. So, if you're ever in the area, drop in. The Canex also has loads of "Roots" shorts and t-shirts with supportive logos on them. Anyone, isn't there a Canex in TO? sabot60, If you're unable to get to a base, PM someone and hve them send you something.sabot60 said:
