Today, while getting a much needed latte fix at a Tim's near Pearson in Mississauga, I witnessed a lack of poppies on those in the restaurant. The majority of the customers, and the employees, were from a culture that seems to not wish to recognize Canada's important role during WWI and WWII. Am not optimistic that our educational system will provide suitable guidance to the younger members of this demographic.
Very kind as always, Ted. There are direct flights from Pearson to Liberia that are more Canadian than Tim's in the 2020s.
Not presently optimistic either, but wins to the south point to anything being possible. If we want it enough, there's no reason we can't force change.
I'd settle for "not terrible" at this point, but remain hopeful we can get back to good with a few more populist election waves, the pushing of harsh truths, and ending the mass immigration scam.
Leitch was pilloried at the time, but she too was right.
Even worse was the group that used the poppy to commemorate Yahya Sinwar. I believe the picture was in the National Post. Those pro-Hamas terrorists and their supporters are intentionally trying to spit on Canada. They now are even telling Canadians Canada is their country so suck it up and get out of the way. The Muslim Brotherhood declared that it would take over our country from within. They aren’t even trying to hide their goal anymore. Their contempt for Canada and our democratic values is glaringly on display. Just recently the Saudi Imam Al-hakeem has been preaching his fundamentalist hateful views of women, Jews and homosexuals- with total impunity. Across Canada. Not a word of disapproval from Trudeau that I have heard let alone doing anything about him. He should have been kicked out of the country after his first lecture. Along with the people running the mosque in Hamilton commemorating Yahya Sinwar. There was also a commemoration for Hezbollah’s Nazrallah in other mosques.
Thanks for sharing this, Dwight. It's truly awful. There's another one of Trudeau's success stories ("a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian") in Port Coquitlam just down the road. He'll be an NDP candidate in no time.
The amount of pandering the Liberals engage in on Islamists and the Khalistani crowd goes against every moral their party was supposed to stand for. Diaspora-courting in general has done a great disservice to Canada. There's so little Canada even left.
Shape up or ship out. (But mostly, ship these guys the hell out.)
I can't speak to the big cities, but, here in Mid-Western Ontario Poppies are still in vogue... somewhat. Though they're not as plentiful has in years past.
I didn't see one Cadet (we have an Air Cadet Squadron here in Hanover) selling Poppies this year, not one! I didn't see any Legion boxes at stores, or other venues either. What's up with that.
Grapes was correct! Canada, and Canadians, are adrift.
Glad to hear about better uptake outside of Liberal-NDP fallout zones. Didn't see one Cadet, either. Not a Scout, not a Cub. Can't even find a Girl Scout hawking thin mints. Plenty of 43-year-old men in track pants taking the jobs of teens and twenty-year-olds, however...
Excellent Alex. Timely commentary.

Remember when Kellie Leitch strongly suggested that immigrants should be required to learn Canadian values?
Now immigrants aren't even required to learn English or French. They are not required to follow our laws.
I doubt that Canada can get back to good, let alone great.

We desperately need an Election.
Cheers.

Election can't come soon enough...
Another banger 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
