Banning poppies is such a weird, pointless hill to die on for an employer. I think this probably boiled down to total corporate cluelessness more than ideology, but it's still stupid either way.
Quote:
An employee of the Whole Foods in Ottawa says she was told by a supervisor that wearing the poppy would be seen as "supporting a cause."
"I was basically told … if they allowed this one particular cause, then it would open up the door so that they would have to allow or consider allowing other causes," said the employee.

"Supporting a cause"... that's one hell of a reason.
