Thank you, veterans. Your ultimate sacrifice is not lost on us.

Lest We Forget--November 11th--The Purple Poppy
REMEMBER THE ANIMALS
The pigeon, the dog and the mighty horse
all part of regiments in the war's course.
Even the cats were down in the trench
purring comfort in that awful stench.
Mankind often forgets they were there
and the many crosses these animals bare.
These fine creatures helped the war
staying with soldiers in the bloody gore.
So think of animals on this Remembrance Day
In the moment of silence...think where they lay

It saddened me the other day when my wife and I walked through the Burlington Center Mall and noticed that only about one in 20 people wore a poppie. My wife is from what was once called East Germany and was 17 when the Berlin wall fell. We moved to Canada in 2005. I myself am a veteran of almost nine years in the service, My wife has the greatest respect for all veterans. Our 15 year old came home from school yesterday in a bit of a panic. He wanted to find his poppie from last year to wear at school the next day. I am so proud of him. Many young Canadian people dont share the respect my son has for veterans and I cant blame them. I blame their parents. Sadly, Canadians are forgetting the many sacrifices so many made for freedom a century ago and still do today and my question is how do we bring back that respect?

Lets be honest, a lot of the "new canadians" shown in this video in the place of old stock canadians, don't care about Canada's military history, because they don't see it as their history

Why on earth did you choose a black Canadian for remembrance day?

How many afro Canadians served in the world wars?

Your anti white rhetoric is appalling.

But canada never fought in tbe war! It was usa, Britain and allies. We were only an ally. The war was never against us. Dont see a reason here. Anyone can explain please?
