Social media did not react well to the news that the one day meant to honour Canadian war dead would be rebranded by pro-Hamas apologists for their agenda.
Soon there won’t be a Remembrance Day I’m afraid. Such disrespect.

"Look what we have allowed to happen."
What a slap in the face to our veterans who fought for our beautiful Canada. They served to make life better for us and look what we have allowed to happen. 🙏💔🇨🇦🍁

Remembrance Day commemorates the service and sacrifice of Canadian soldiers and is marked by two minutes of silence on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. An agreement to end the fighting of the First World War as a prelude to peace negotiations began at 11 am on November 11, 1918.
