  1. Legit question…who was the gentleman in the vice-regal party who arrived last and was first to lay a wreath?

    1. Some high quality sleuthing (rewinding the video…duh) revealed that gent is Richard Wagner Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, standing in for GG Mary Whatserface.

  2. It was a smooth ceremony, much smoother than in previous years. No Trudeau, no Simon…

  3. I was in particular awe of the flypast from the leased RCMP Black Hawk. I hope Trump was watching, that was all done for his benefit!

  4. I’m sorry … but who is the mean-faced-clipped gray haired woman speaker who claimed the past sacrifices were so we could create a more ‘just’ society!? How DARE she interject her woke nonsense in remembrance of men who fought and died for our FREEDOM … not for the tyranny of ‘hate speech’ laws and cancel culture. “A more ‘just’ society”!? “Looking to the ‘future’ “. No they didn’t, you ignorant slut. They were fighting for the society we built up to 1942, you twat!

    How disrespectful of their sacrifice to interject your own hatred of crown and country.

    1. She’s the Chaplain General of the Canadian Armed Forces, our head padre. Not Catholic, obviously.

  5. And let me say it again. I’m ashamed the US doesn’t have any tangible, participatory, symbol of our recognition of the sacrifices made to keep our nation free as does Britain … and Canada … with the Poppy. Each year I marvel at that tangible, universal symbol of remembrance.

    Bravo Britain! Keep your culture strong. And fly the British flag proudly.

  6. I love our history and traditions, and I believe we have broken faith with our fallen veterans in Canada. That’s why I made this video – https://t.co/TTLCJKazFi

    I hate the way our observation of Remembrance Day has been co-opted as an opportunity for political theatre by a government that openly deplores the values these me died for, and can no longer bear to watch the display in Ottawa.

    Instead I went to the local service in the small town where I live. It was amateurish and unimpressive. The Last Post was played on a cheap digital recorder through a PA system designed for Karaoke.

    Every rural official and professional gas bag within a 40 mile radius gave a little speech, and the event was capped off with sandwiches and coffee at the legion hall – yet it was somehow far more sincere than what now happens in our national capital.

  7. How long were the land acknowledgements at the Ottawa ceremony? they were excessive at the one I attended.
