I support the men and women in the Canadian Forces. That’s not what this is about. Renaming the 401 to “The Highway Of Heroes” is a bad idea because no one is going to refer to it that way. People will always call it the 401.
‘How’s traffic on The Highway Of Heroes’ today, Bob?’
And how long until NBC buys sponsorship rights and creates custom signage advertising their hit show?
Do you know anyone who currently calls it by it’s official name? Do you know anyone who knows what the official name is?
It’s the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway.
And are they going to rename it in both directions, or just the westbound stretch from Trenton to Toronto?
As an aside, how come they fly our military dead to Trenton and then drive their bodies to Toronto rather than just fly to Toronto?

And now for my real issue of the day: The US Government banned the broadcast of footage showing the caskets of US soldiers returning from overseas. It’s not the image of war that they want the US citizens to see. I am astounded that this isn’t a topic at the forefront of American media. The US government is controlling the media, (Some might say this has always been the case, but that’s another rant altogether!) and no one is complaining.
