On purpose?I Happy I moved from America to Canada.
Your a moran!.....
I would say it would be a good day to remember the cost of war.
'We are gathered here friends,' he said, 'to honour lo Hoon-yera Mora-toorz tut Zamoo-cratz-ya [one hundred martyrs to democracy], children dead, all dead, all murdered in war. It is customary on days like this to call such lost children men. I am unable to call them men for this simple reason: that in the same war in which lo Hoon-yera Mora-toorz tut Zamoo-cratz-ya died, my own son died.
My soul insists that I mourn not a man but a child.
I do not say that children at war do not die like men, if they have to die. To their everlasting honour and our everlasting shame, they do die like men, thus making possible the manly jubilation of patriotic holidays.
But they are murdered children all the same.
And I propose to you that if we are to pay our sincere respects to the hundred lost children of San Lorenzo, that we might best spend the day despising what killed them; which is to say, the stupidity and viciousness of all mankind.
Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs. That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory and shows of flags and well-oiled guns.
I do not mean to be ungrateful for the fine, martial show we are about to see - and a thrilling show it really will be.....
And hooray say I for thrilling shows.
But if today is really in honour of a hundred children murdered in war is today a day for a thrilling show?
The answer is yes, on one condition: that we, the celebrants, are working consciously and tirelessly to reduce the stupidity and viciousness of ourselves and of all mankind.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed I see.
Good thing you moved up there.
I mean they just wear those poppies for no reason one day a year.
I'm against war, why would I care about the Military?

you can joke all you want, but the last time America invaded Canada, they put their tales in between their legs and ran back south
FACTS
I'm against war, why would I care about the Military?
So what, ppl in the Military died. You know who else dies? Everyone eventually. Happy I moved from America to Canada.
You know what Holiday they celebrate instead of stupid shit like Memorial day? They celebrate Family Day. A day to celebrate your family.
If you're against war and don't give af abt the Miltary just change it to Family Day
Victoria day? You mean May 2-4? As in drink a 2-4 of beer. The official start to the camping/drinking season. Has nothing to do with the monarchy any more.You know Canada has remembrance day -- and no, instead of memorial day in may, our may holiday is Victoria day -- based on celebrating a dead Queens birthday. I mean, the day off is good regardless but I much rather have it dedicated to the Canadian military rather than British Monarchy

Nah, we stand with Muhammad Ali for refusing to join the Miltary.
It really should be called, Muhammad Ali Day
