Well, perhaps not the only people - I should have said the
vast majority of people offended by this are white people trying to out PC each other. Most VM’s and immigrants I’ve talked to actually agree that the rate of remembrance poppy wearing is low among newer immigrants and visible minorities - I’d argue moreso due to economic factors and a lack of awareness of Canada’s military history than due to any genuine ill will towards our veterans, but what he said is an uncomfortable truth.
