I am not suggesting that, but we could mirror what is done Christmas day.
Nov 11 is a much more important day than Dec 25, IMO.

I think we should really REALLY get everyone to observe 2 minutes of silence like they do in Warsaw. Youtube it (Warsaw moment of silence). The city literally STOPS in its tracks (cars, trains, everything) for two minutes. That's two minutes where the whole city stops what they're doing and pays their respect.
Much more impactful than forcing Wal-Mart to close. I know the war hits a lot closer to home for people in Poland obviously but I think Canadians could do it.

Listen we will never agree.
This country doesn't appreciate their service members' sacrifice, never has.
So what are people's thoughts on stores, et al. being closed on Christmas day?
