OTTAWA – In recognition of his stalwart performance and commitment to national pride at today’s commemoration of the beginning of the First World War, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has recommended to the Governor General that he be awarded the highest military honour for bravery.
“I’m honoured to join the proud ranks of 96 other brave Canadians who demonstrated supreme sacrifice,” Harper announced to the nation immediately after the grueling two hour ceremony. “There will be an even larger commemoration to mark the event next week.”
The London Gazette described how 55 year-old Conservative Party leader obtained the highest Canadian honour:
Prime Minister Stephen Joseph Harper gallantly commanded his men to commemorate the First World War. During the event, Harper fearlessly made a critical speech reminding the nation on why its important to honour the sacrifices made during the War. Then, under heavy media scrutiny, Harper carried a heavy memorial wreath, without the help of staffers, for several meters and laid it beside the Memorial so the rest of the commemoration could advance.
“Does Justin Trudeau have a Victoria Cross?” Harper rhetorically asked the media. “No? Then he doesn’t support our troops.”
At press time, the Prime Minister promised to support all Canadian Great War veterans with better health care and pensions.
