If you are familiar with the head set of uniformed Canadian soldiers, you would better understand the nature of my comment which was intended to be as insulting as you can possibly imagine.
I might lose my fellow travelling companion status of the RC church for saying this but here goes:
I bet the CAFs clean up their act before the RC church does.
Over 13 hours, a man disguised as a Mountie travelled nearly 200 kilometres through Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. The Fifth Estate explores what the RCMP knew about the gunman that night, how they remained one step behind and why the public was left in the dark.
Ontario MP resigns from Liberal caucus after employing sister in constituency office Yasmin Ratansi, who represents Don Valley East, says in a statement that she 'made an error' and now intends to represent the riding as an Independent Gee, what is a person to think? If Canadians were only half as great as Americans, political nepotism would be welcome with open arms!?!!
I love Canadian scandals. If this is considered a major breach of ethics, you are doing something right.
The Liberals already have had their hands full with Trudeau's nepotism. Can't use any more.
...... Mixup of intentions and meanings involved? Poppy can easily be seen as a "cause" when it comes to legalizing drugs. The symbol's history may easily be misinterpreted, even though it shouldn't be during these days!
(Just guessing here, again.. hey there!)
Bad guess. Just lots of dead and maimed Canadian soldiers.
On a slightly related note, my Dad just sent me a few newspaper clippings my grandmother saved, about my grandfather home on leave while serving on the USS Boise. To tiny little Rufe, Oklahoma. The Boise had seen extensive action - see 'Battle of Cape Esperance' - to my knowledge my grandfather never talked about it. c.

Nothing to defend, here.
My great grandpa fled from Flanders (Belgium) to Germany, escaping the then and there draft in the early years of WWI. I and my offspring (three kids of two different moms) still have his (Flanders) second name.
Sorry for not being knowledgeable, as per your standards. ~ Apparently only capable of viewing the world from a (mostly uneducated?) hun's den. To be honest, Armistice Day is nothing we celebrate here in this country...
Deep in my memory I must have heard of it before, but I've in-between forgotten about it. No offense meant...
"Interestingly", Nov. 11, at the 11th hr. and 11 mins. in this country, the carnival-season begins (which I've always abhorred bc of it's craziness). Honestly, I don't know if there is any correlation involved?!
*peace*
No offence taken.
FWIW, I am a well socialized freemarket economist. I view the punitive features of the Treaty of Versailles as the single most important reason for the rise of Hitler's fascist movement and the start of World War II in the European theatre.
American lead-NATO has clearly not taken lessons from that period, witness the recent NATO membership of several former Warsaw Pact countries.
