I believe that so long as one of us remembers, they are not truly gone.

As we prepare for Remembrance Day let us remember Leo Alfred St. Jacques.

@nrdnvndr @JefferyPetts You do come across as a 12 year old.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@realdc_23 @GuntherEagleman Remind me how successful the US has been in their recent wars in the ME?

No one sounds more insecure than a dude telling us he’s a tough guy.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@slaterson101 @JefferyPetts 12 year olds compromise our MPs?

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@nrdnvndr @JefferyPetts Who do you think was in charge when the immigration laws changed?
Hint - your great-grandfather’s generation.

@LeCheuf1959 @JefferyPetts Canadians are a multitude of skin tones.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@HrPrethodnica @JefferyPetts Those are Canadian youths in a Canadian youth organization that teaches citizenship and leadership.

Have you considered not being a coward?

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@slaterson101 @JefferyPetts Most of those in the picture are cadets - members of a youth organization dedicated to teaching citizenship and leadership to people 12-18 years of ages.

I’m going to need you to show your work for that belief.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@realdc_23 @GuntherEagleman You’re the one who posted the AI pic of the “crusader” to make like a tough guy. I just reminded you that most of those guys lost and maybe there’s a better way to resolve your insecurities, but you do you.

@freeland0293 @Washed_Up_Gold @ghostygirlfarts Dude, you’ve got “nationalists” trying to convince people anyone whose ancestors didn’t come from west of the Rhine and North of the Pyrenees can’t be a real Canadian. Once they get there then the argument will shift to which county your ancestors came from.

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 The armies have been creating cohesion through shared experiences and shared goals regardless of ethnic or tribal affiliations since the Assyrian Empire.

History and social studies really aren’t your strong suit, are they?

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 The implication that keeping “the barbarians” out promotes social cohesion.

Cohesion is created by different people working together for a common goal.

Chucklenuts, like yourself, whining “it will never work” are doing the most dividing by looking for reasons to keep separate.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@freeland0293 @Washed_Up_Gold @ghostygirlfarts The only people referring to Canada as an economic zone instead of a country seems to be a group of nationalists that are trying to decide if the Welsh are white enough.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 That’s never been true throughout history, but sure, first time for everything I guess.

People divide themselves up along countless lines - religion, ethnicity, nationality, social class, language, etc.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 Keeping immigrants separate harms social cohesion - ie if you force groups of people separate they become vulnerable to people who prey on them.

This was a reminder from WWII that, regardless of ethnic background, Canadian soldiers gave everything for Canada.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@WTCoryell @notinregs If your troops can’t control themselves they should not be allowed to remain

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 If you came from a different country to settle here you are by definition an immigrant.

Those already here made quite a ruckus about ANY new immigrants - Yanks were coming here to steal land, the Irish were too stupid (& Catholic) to integrate, etc.

Can you get a new songbook?

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@freeland0293 @Washed_Up_Gold @ghostygirlfarts 100 years ago you’d have been bitching the Italians were coming to replace “Real Canadians.”
200 years ago, it would have been the Irish.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@realdc_23 @GuntherEagleman Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Have the day you deserve.

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 The British and French settlers immigrated here.

Canada sought immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, advertised in southern Europe, took refugees from the US and SE Asia and brought over workers from China and Japan.

Have you considered learning Canadian history?

[Bill Hall @ReiverHall]

@JamesonCanada @SilentSnow89 Canada has encouraged immigration from all over the world since the beginning. Immigration made this country.
