Turn Canada Day into Canada Month – A Proposal

Just some quick thoughts regarding Remembrance Day here in Canada and a proposal.

As you’ll know, several Remembrance Day ceremonies were marred by woke-influenced administrators. There might have been others, but the ones that made national news were: 1) The Halifax principal who asked CAF members not to wear their uniforms; and 2) The Ottawa high school that played a “Palestinian protest song” as
