    An incredibly moving experience on Remembrance Day. The ceremony of the march culminating in the laying of the wreaths was emotional. No speeches were made, and none were needed

    War. What can be said about war? In the end it encompasses the best and the worst of humanity. It's about struggle and sacrifice, also remembering where we have come from as a society. Canada was one of the last countries formed and has always had a small population but besides being peacekeepers they have been known to been fierce fighters contributing in the world war and always bringing pride and patriotism to whatever cause they lent their energy their lives and their resources too. Granted politics can be a terrible thing and in times of war there are always going to be losers but this beautiful Memorial commemorates even the soldiers from Afghanistan and should be appreciated and visited for it honors the men and women who came before us who fought so vigilantly so that we could enjoy the better parts of society today. You know there was a great Canadian poet who wrote of Flanders Fields where the poppies would grow between the crosses row by row, but this beautiful cross adorns our city streets and it helps us to remember that whether you live on Queen Street or think yourself a queen that men and women have laid down their life so that you could have a better life and that's the struggle we should all recognize and respect no matter our differences. Those who have come before us always tried to seek a resolution and we can't always be proud or certain if we did what was right but in the end we couldn't respect those who nobily gave their ALL to fight for those they loved and the hopes for a better world for us all. 🇨🇦🌈🖖🌎🌍🌏🌌🖖🏆👏🥰
