My son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.

He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.

I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.

So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.

How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.

Even in our nation’s capital.

Dear great(-great) grandparents. Sorry for your losses of family and friends during the 20th Century Wars. Just wanted to let you know that a bunch of shitheads gave all your wins up because some influencers went all in on Russian and Nazi propaganda and people without their own value systems went along with it cause it seemed "cool".

Mistigram: today AdeptApril uses #ANSIart to draw our attention to #ArmisticeDay, marking the ending of WWI on this date with an image of a #poppy, such as can be found in great abundance #InFlandersFields.
