NOVEMBER 1 1TH IS REMEMBRANCE DAY
Poppy recalls the flowering of Canada
The poppy is widely recognized as a symbol for soldiers who died in battle, but for many Canadians the blood red flower
also signifies the spirit of Canadian unity, recalling a time when Canadians were passionately united in a common cause:
freedom.
That is when, many say, Canada truly became a nation. When on foreign shores, soldiers from Newfoundland to British
Columbia fought, suffered, and died together, and Canadians at home pitched in to support them. And all for Canada.
It has become a tradition to pay tribute to those who died In the two world wars by wearing a poppy, the flower that
grows in abundance In the fields of France and Belgium where Canadian soldiers are buried.
But today there is another reason. Over the years Canada has lost the spirit of unity forged during that remarkable
period. What better occasion than Remembrance Day, November 11, to recall that time when Canadians knew this country
was worth fighting for. When men and women of all ages, colours, religions and regions of Canada recognized that
together they could overcome forces which threatened to destroy their country and their future. That together they were
invincible.
This message remains true today although the forces that threaten our country once again, come from within. What
should be our response? There can be only one.
We will stand united, as did those young Canadians who believed so passionately in freedom. And, in tribute to their
sacrifices and to demonstrate our belief in a united Canada, we will remember to wear a poppy this, and every,
Remembrance Day.
