Banning Employees from wearing Poppies........

[OldDude]

No. The Premier saw an opportunity to score points with voters.... politicians are opportunistic weasels, this was an easy win. Even Ottawa jumped on the bandwagon...

Sort of.... Ford called it, IIRC, "disgusting and disgraceful". Justine called it "a silly mistake".

Shows you who respects our veterans more.

You guys all know this had nothing to do with poppies right? They changed company policies to ban employees from wearing Black Lives Matter pins earlier this year. It accidentally also banned poppies and they only resisted allowing poppies because of the implications that it would also allow BLM pins. This isn't liberals/lefties, this is unintended consequences from cons/rights shooting themselves in their own foot.

It was a poorly thought out interpretation, as there is no particular political statement involved in poppies, whereas BLM is strictly a political statement. Liberals seem to be good at conflating disparate things.

Here's the funny thing, as a veteran I really don't care if people wear or don't wear the poppy. I don't care what government does on that one day (I care about what they do the other 364 days to support the military & veterans). Remembrance day to me is a very personal day. It's for those that understand, not for the crowds.
