"It is her own soul that Canada risks today. Once that soul is pawned for any consideration, Canada must inevitably conform to the commercial, legal, financial, social, and ethical standards which will be imposed on her by the sheer admitted weight of the U.S."

@_Cyuu_ It's a shame we are tearing down memorials to this conflict now. It's remembered in Manitoba but the militia are demonized thanks to revisionist history. Technically Decoration Day is supposed to commemorate everything from the North-West Rebellion and before, but no one does it.

@CSallustius In my hometown I would always attend the anavets service, a bit more traditional

At the National Remembrance Day service in Ottawa. They open with a land acknowledgement before anything about veterans - incredible

So sick of this shit, really just a replacement for prayer. Demonic

They just don't make them like this anymore, absolute loyalist

A photo John Finnimore (92) of the Toronto Regiment at a Royal Canadian Legion dinner in Etobicoke, Ontario, April 1982. The Toronto Star reported at the time that “many of the veterans said they were ready to enlist again if Canada is drawn into a war over the Falkland Islands.”

@Graham_Mark_E @BacovcinAkiva And as defeating as the two solitudes idea is, it's the most realistic option for how Canada should have turned out. I say that after getting to know people in Quebec who also call themselves conservatives, and realizing there is nothing about Canada culturally they care about.

@Graham_Mark_E @BacovcinAkiva As sympathetic as I am to this today simply because what we have right now sucks, triculturalism and even biculturalism (which inevitably led to Liberal mosaic multiculturalism in the 60s after Pearson asked for a Royal Commission) are losing positions.

This is the one I saw in Quebec when I visited last year

@Selwyn1750 @_Cyuu_ Never again

I remember when @HistoricaCanada was celebrated for producing great heritage minute videos about Canadian history

How it's going... 25% of its Remembrance Day event guide for teachers is about how to properly do a land acknowledgement

@JefferyPetts While I agree with the sentiment 100% I don't think it should be out of the question for the Legion to consider a more secure design, the British ones are fastened by a stem at the end so they don't fall out easily, and you end up with less scattered on the ground which looks bad

@da_ajaarns @wintmint723 @AlbertanYeoman @grok Nearly all fought under the British Indian army, the direct predecessor of the current Indian Army, therefore the battle honours should be commemorated in India. Canada has no business with it

@RestoreCanadaCa @retrobinkie For public servants including the Chief Herald it starts when the Legion says

I should mention Mario also applauded PSPP when he threw a fit over the monarchy and the oath, automatically lost all respect

The anglo influencer right's tendency to simp for Quebec separatists in recent days is something I find very jarring. We know that unfortunately the current conservative base in Canada rejects, for the most part, the history and ideals of Canada's founding...

Bro just won the Biggest Balls in Canada award. EU summit starts today.

Told Carney to F— Off.

And there is a weird horseshoe they share with the newer anglo right led by the influencers, in that they have no real connection or time for their historical identity at all. It's still a very fragile friendship though - most anglos do not realize how different we have become.

@2olivetree But that is to an extent what it was. The futility of war narrative that grew out of it was a newer invention, and a much more dangerous one at that.

@Iwuedfh @Rpbotniks @CestuiQueTakes The overwhelming majority of casualties in WWI were volunteers

@yuanyi_z I was initially more hostile to this tweet until I realized the op is like 16
