He's the one with a platform, he has every opportunity to clarify what he meant if he indeed meant something else.
Not sure why you feel the need to do it for him.

You are not sure why people should discuss this?
How about this?
He thinks Canada is the greatest nation
He believes Canadians owe a debt of gratitude to veterans
He believes that people who choose to be part of Canada should support veterans
(and yes that includes immigrants)
Buying a poppy is an easy way to do that.
These statements are all on brand for him.
His family immigrated, assimilated, fought for the country. He has always been pro Canada and pro veterans
People are spending so much time inferring and interpreting, getting outraged about the results of their own inference
People could spend time as well to consider his intent and not clumsy execution
He did not spell out to whom he took exception. Based on his words, he did not spell out taking exception to all immigrants in general, but he did appear to take exception to people that he perceives don’t support veterans
