Sacrilege! For Remembrance Day, pro-Hamas supporters want Canadians to wear poppies that bear the colours of the Palestinian flag!
The traditional poppy honours patriotism and sacrifice; the poppy is not meant to be corrupted into something that celebrates terrorism.
We’re less than a week away from Remembrance Day, a time meant to honour war veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our rights and freedoms.
As per tradition, those who mark Remembrance Day do so by wearing a poppy.
But shockingly, there is now a move afoot by the “river to the sea” crowd to get people to wear a “reimagined” poppy – one that features the crass colours of the Palestinian flag.
This is grotesque bordering on obscene.
The traditional poppy honours patriotism and sacrifice; the poppy is not meant to be corrupted into something that celebrates terrorism.
Golly, was it really five years ago that the beloved hockey commentator, Don Cherry, bemoaned the lack of respect for our Remembrance Day traditions on what turned out to be the last episode of Coach’s Corner? Alas, Grapes was simply ahead of the curve. Cherry was fired for speaking the truth… but then again, is that not the very definition of political correctness? I.e., if the truth hurts, one dare not utter it.
And by the way, why isn’t the left denouncing this move? Don’t they hate “cultural appropriation”? After all, leftists are quick to condemn someone who is not Mexican for wearing a sombrero. But when it comes to hijacking a downright sacred symbol that means so much to so many people, well, it’s a matter of “nothing to see here, folks…” Or is it, “diversity is our strength”?
In the final analysis, a great patriot like Don Cherry gets terminated for pointing out how the poppy is disrespected, whereas the new age Hitler Youth Movement – who scream for the genocide of the Jewish people on a weekly basis – gets a pass and is even applauded by politicians ranging from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Meanwhile, based on what we have witnessed in recent weeks, the Toronto Police Service has apparently been ordered to NOT arrest the “Hamasholes”, even though they continue to violate Section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
And now comes the call to desecrate the poppy?
Our glorious war dead must be turning in their graves…

Jerrold Lundgard commented 2024-11-09 06:18:31 -0500The stylized poppy symbol is the property of the Canadian legion and there is protocol on use of the poppy symbol – Modification of the poppy in any way is considered disrespectful to the memory of those risked all and gave all for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Peter Wrenshall commented 2024-11-08 23:23:13 -0500This is not the first time that anti-Canada radicals have tried to pull a “re-imagining the poppy” gambit. Some years ago leftist groups were hawking a white “peace poppy” ostensibly as an anti-war message. Of course the actual motive was to undermine traditional Remembrance Day observances for what they regarded as “militarism.” In this case the motive is simply to cash in on the prestige of the traditional poppy in the service of their own vile cause, but the ultimate objective, the destruction of basic Canadian values, is the same.
