The Red and White poppies mean two seperate things. The White for Peace and the Red for rememberance. The Canadian Legion should not be again PEACE. Most of the people in the Legion have never served so until such time they STAND A WATCH then they should be silent and remember our lost.

As ec-forces, coming from a Highalnd Scottish and Polish background, from generations of military roles I can say that Thank God we have mass communication to allow people to see the disgusting folly of war. Flagwaving, political,greedy,business-fuel­ling wars, fought by the 'minnions' and killing other peoples sons, daughters, mothers, brothers, sisters, grandparents etc are simply WRONG! I know that many of my family would not have died in horrific pain if today's options available. God bless!
