Not so long ago, two horrendous #wars engulfed the entire #planet ...
Today, territorial & ideological religious confrontations continue.
Only humans start wars.
Only humans can stop them.

108 years ago today, at 5:30 a.m., all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together for the first time at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
On a cold Easter morning, they advanced through sleet and snow. #VimyDay#VimyRidge

On this day in 1936, the Vimy Ridge monument was unveiled by King Edward VIII. Watch the #HeritageMinute on Vimy Ridge to learn more about this momentous battle: https://t.co/a114LldOOa
On this day in 1914, Canada entered the First World War along with Britain. During the war, three men from Winnipeg's Pine Street won the Victoria Cross, the highest award for courage. The street was renamed Valour Road in their honour. https://t.co/DHaEaeHRti
