Hanoi Jane is a traitor

Editor: I am writing about Jane (Hanoi Jane) Fonda. During the Vietnam War, she was “America’s most infamous traitor.”

Hanoi Jane spent a considerable amount of time in North Vietnam: She openly “coveted” the North Vietnamese, America’s enemy in that conflict. She was seen in several photo-ops while sitting at the controls of an anti-aircraft weapons system — one used to shoot down U.S. aircraft.

Her most egregious traitorous act occurred when, upon her departure from one of her many trips to North Vietnam, she was handed a piece of paper with the Social Security numbers of several prisoner of war airmen. Those men wanted their families to know they were still alive after several years of imprisonment. Hanoi Jane then handed the paper to the nearest North Vietnamese officer.

Now, Fonda has flown into Fort McMurray on her fuel-guzzling corporate jet to protest the Alberta oilsands and pipelines to the west coast. Several Western Canadian First Nation chiefs are accompanying her on this trip.

If Canada should shut down the exports of our natural resources to the Asian market, the entire nation would lose big time. No profits earned, no taxes paid, no nothing.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Pacific Rim neighbours would clean up in international markets.

At this very moment, Australia is eating Canada’s lunch in the Asian Pacific market. Ernie Slump, Penticton
