None of this is essential. All of these people deserve to enjoy stat holidays like the rest of us.

I work Oil and Gas and know guys who live in Calgary but work in Ft. St. John what should they do when kicked out of their hotel for the day? Sleep in their trucks? Eating grocery store food they bought the day before? Hope it isn't too cold since they can't fill up their trucks with gas if they run out.
This is one tiny group of likely many that would be negatively affected by this stupid idea. It would at best cause 1 or 2% of them to think about Remembrance Day and the rest likely to be incredibly, and justifiably, pissed off.
I never fought for my country, never served in any sort of military branch but I have a hard time believing that those that did want to force people into majorly altering their lives to artificially remember them.
For the most part people do a great job of respecting veterans and Remembrance Day. Sorry not everyone does exactly how you want them but forcing them to do things they don't want likely doesn't make them have any more respect for those things and are more likely to make them bitter about it.
