Ontario's Scots Don't Care About Haggis

English Roast Beef for Burns Night
The Scottish community in Ontario just doesn't care about haggis. Starting next year all Ontario's Scotsmen will be celebrating Burns Night by meekly eating English roast beef.

Is that the conclusion we should draw from the poor response to Blighty's Blogpoll about the Ontario Government regulating haggis out of existence? You can find the poll in the right hand column of Blighty's Blog.

Scotsmen are Meek
I don't believe the Scots don't care about haggis myself. We sell lots of it here at Blighty's Tuck Store. I believe that Scotsmen are just too meek to stand up for themselves.

When I first came to Canada I worked with a Scotsman. So many people heard his accent and asked him if he was English that, eventually, he gave up correcting them and just said "yes".

The Scots were soundly beaten by the Sassenachs on the field of Culloden on April 16th 1746 and I don't think they have recovered from the shame of defeat yet. You can do anything to a Scotsman and he will just sit there and take it.

Ok Jock, Are You Fighting Mad Yet?
I bet you aren't half as angry as you will be in the next few weeks when there is no haggis left in Blighty's freezers; when there is no haggis left anywhere in Ontario because Premier Dalton McGuinty's rabid bureaucrats have closed down all the small butcher shops that make haggis.

Do you think I am kidding? The Looney Liberals in Queen's Park have ALREADY SHUT DOWN several Ontario butcher operations and they are drooling with the prospect of forcing all the other small Scottish butchers into bankruptcy too.

And you, Jock, sat back and did nothing until the battle was lost! Now click on over to the right column and have your say before it's too late. This Sassenach is fighting on your side to stop these mad provincial government men from destroying your tradition, but I need your involvement!
