The day to remember all the millions of victims of militarism and war, and to recommit to #peace and against #warmongering.
#RemembranceDay

As I head out the door to attend my local Remembrance Day ceremony, here is a story from the CBC about the USA and Canada in WWII.
““We each share a border. If something happened to Canada tomorrow, wouldn't I want the United States to defend them? If something happened to us, wouldn't we want Canada to help defend us? So I'm telling you, we need as countries to resolve these issues that we are having right now, today.””

My son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.
He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.
I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.
So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.
How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.
Even in our nation’s capital.
