Did more indigenous people die? Is there blood different than other Canadians? There is only one kind of veteran a Canadian and only one day November 11

Wouldn't it be great if we didnt have separate days to honor our veterans that only serves to divide us?

This is just pure rascist bullshit elevating one group above another for sacrifices made during war.

My Métis cousin committed suicide after getting his degree & being jobless for 3 yrs - he is buried in a non-description humble grave in Pickering - a young strong 6 foot tall beautiful life wasted Then you give his mother a run-around These are the Métis “Stories” you are creating in Canada with you destructive immigration & taxation policy Now you will shut off the comments while existing on taxpayer money

Separating veterans causes division. @GROK Who started the separate Indigenous Remembrance Day for veterans? Is that why it is not an official stat day in Canada?

Imagine a Canadian Prime Minister spending more time celebrating pride over our Veterans? Who asked for too much?

NO WE DO NOT! IN FACT GO TO HELL WITH YOUR RACIST BULLSHIT AND DIVISIVE POLITICAL AGENDAS. THEY DON'T MERIT SPECIAL TRIBUTE AS VETERANS, UNLESS THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS WERE EXCEPTIONAL. APOLOGIZE FOR INCESSANT STUPIDITY.

Aren't Indigenous pp Canadian? If they’re Canadian and accept Canada as their main flag, then why do you categorize them and call them by a separate name?! And if they aren't Canadian and don't accept Canada, then they weren't good fighters at all and don't deserve such a day.

Is Remembrance Day not good enough?

Way to create segregation! We don't need more exclusion but more unity. I have never been to a Remembrance Day service where anyone said, "but not the Indigenous". Here they are saying ,"but only the Indigenous". We are one.

We are all Canadians together. Why are you creating division? I’m so sick of your bullshit.

Quit it!! They are not anymore special than all the other veterans!! If you asked a first nations veteran if they want a day different from their brothers at arms, I imagine they would say no.

Where do we buy their poppies? I assume they are Orange? I did not see any for donation. 🤷‍♀️

You decry racism, yet everything you all do, is racist. REMEMBRANCE DAY is November 11, and guess what? It's ALL INCLUSIVE. Or it was...

We all know “First Nations” do not consider themselves “Canadian”. Hence their own chosen designation. Weird though, that they aren’t singled out as being “divisive”, as it’s their primary role to be.

Remembrance Day is for ALL of our fallen soldiers. Divide of the Canadian people. Should Scots, Irish, English, and French get their own Veterans Day?
