Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day should be a time to honour all those who served and died for Canada. Instead, once again, it has been politicized, this year by a government-staged apology aimed at casting shame on the military rather than celebrating its sacrifice.

Once a year, we pause to remember those who died in uniform in service to our country and in defence of our rights and freedoms, and our very way of life.

I’m shocked the LPC didn’t have a Transgender Remembrance day.

Every year on Remembrance Day, Canadians gather to honour the fallen, recalling the iconic battles of Vimy Ridge, Ypres, Ortona, and Kapyong, and the bravery of Spitfire pilots, corvette crews, and infantrymen who clawed through Europe’s darkest hours.

But beyond those famous chapters are lesser-known stories, often forgotten, that reveal the full scope of Canada’s military commitment, from global wars to distant peacekeeping missions and humanitarian crises.

I didn’t expect, while on a recent trip to Buxton, England, to find myself crouching before 29 shining white tombstones of Canadian soldiers, clustered under a row of holly trees bearing bright red fruit. Rain fell onto the precisely trimmed grass and a grey October wind blew the red roses growing between the graves.

On Nov. 11, locals will gather for the annual ceremony here, to light candles and lay wreaths to honour these men, casualties of the First World War who now rest far from where they lived and died.

One of the most revered days in the Canadian calendar was caught up in controversy this week as a debate raged over the appropriateness of playing an Arabic song and invoking the transatlantic slave trade during Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused some event organizers of being too “woke” and defiling a day meant to mourn war dead and pay respect to Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought to protect the country.

Remembrance Day is not about Islamists and their imaginary idol Mohammed the child molester nor is it about Canada’s imaginary guilt for imaginary slavery etc etc etc..

In 1915, it was the Canadian Corps’ first Christmas on the Western Front and in a trench near Ypres their enemy was inviting them over for a party.

Ottawa Services can be watched here starting at 10:30 AM.

Thank you to all who served.

I hope that Canada can be rescued from the clutches of that nation destroying cabal sucking on the public teat in Ottawa.

I hope that your sacrifice will not have been in vain.
