I’m not going to say he is right or wrong, but he is known to be controversial and this is not anything new from him.
Well, he is a second generation Canadian born from immigrants and has spoken as well about Irish heritage.
His father served his new country in the military and he is proud of that.
The Legion sells poppies and proceeds help out veterans and family members in need.
Canada played important roles in the World Wars and his statements seem consistent with his family immigrant history and with his consistent advocacy for veterans
Another poster noted that a-holes that don’t respect or honour veterans are not limited to immigrants. That is true and evidenced not far from here.
I’d be embarrassed to proudly step up and say I am against buying poppies and supporting veterans.
I can’t agree entirely with the approach but have seen many more upsetting things, and it’s the internet and the warriors will activate as they see fit.
