No more beaver????

I've been gone too long, from Canada, that is.
My loving husband sent me this information and
frankly, Alec and I are shocked!



"The beaver is no longer fit to be Canada's national emblem,
 and should be replaced with the polar bear,
a Conservative senator says.
In a statement to the Senate,
Senator Nicole Eaton said the beaver was an outdated symbol,
and a destructive rodent.
The polar bear - with its "strength, courage, resourcefulness and dignity" -
 would be a better fit, she argued.
The beaver was named an official emblem of the country in 1975.
The senator said it was time for an "emblem makeover".

Well, this statement did come from a conservative member
of parliament.

Alec and I, we vote for the beaver.".
