Why on earth did a Canadian court ban poppy? Oh my god, I just can't believe it. We should never forget the sacrifices that thousands of men and women made to give us freedom, the thousands of men, women and children who died during the war, not to mention the thousands of parents, brothers, sisters, children, etc. who lost their loved ones.

We wear our poppies on November 11th not as a symbol representing any religion, culture, etc., but as a sign of honor and remembrance of those brave men and women who served during the war, many lost their lives and suffered for many years from injuries during the war.

Wearing a poppy is a sign of gratitude and gratitude and remembers the brave men and women who fought for our country. It breaks my heart to think that wearing our poppies could be banned by any Canadian court.

MAC OR NOT MAC

With apologies to Will Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1:

To dip or not to dip.

That's the question.

Is it more noble to follow your heart?

Or unknowingly follow the judges.

Oh damn, you know the answer.

DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE

Re: “Lest we forget”; While many people shy away from poppies, Grapes wants you to wear them on November 11th.

The deaths of thousands of Canadians across all theaters of war, which this country observed with respect, reverence and love on November 11th, are embraced and demonstrated as we wear the poppy.

Mack is our universal, silent guardian of fallen Canadians.

I live in an area populated by immigrants who were lucky enough to come here to improve their lives. I never judge. But I'm interested in something.

I wonder why they don't realize the significance of our annual Memorial Day and all the emotions that come with it in support of our past and present armed forces.

In the week leading up to Remembrance Day, I tried to celebrate poppies everywhere I went that were worn by people from other places and other cultures.

Well, either we have failed to make it clear that Don Cherry is right, or citizenship orientation lacks the education to make new Canadians aware of one of our most sacred symbols of sacrificing the lives lost before they arrived in order to enjoy the freedom they enjoy now.

Will wearing a poppy kill you?
