[@mitchteacher3183]

we remember all of the soldiers who have given their life to make Canada a great and free country today! happy remembrance day!

[@aidanchan1693]

@Piano Chin Sadly, but the longer we who still remember, remember, the longer it will take before they are forgotten, _if_ at some point our heroes and veterans will be.

[@judgesan9542]

Thank you All Canadians love from the UK.

[@Tim-57]

@Zzpguy7290 We?

[@dakotamanyguns9510]

As an indigenous person and former infantry cadet. We stand by our fallen brethren.

[@ledacedar6253]

I was so happy this morning to hear an Indigenous veteran included on this day to speak and to be celebrating on the same day instead of being marginalized to a separate day! Mr. Banock of the Gitxsan, Gitsegukla First Nation shared with me, how on his return from the Korean war was shoved onto the reserve again, had no rights or privileges and was only able to leave the postage stamp reserve if he got permission from the Indian Agent. And we all know there were mean, nasty nah-sayers in love with their power-over positions over those they deemed as "others", instead of honouring the most honourable veterans in Canada.

[@johnavast5939]

Thank you for your brave service Dakota! :) Bless you! We need to stand together for what is right and not be pulled apart !

[@knightcr1]

From a grateful U.S. citizen,to the great nation of Canada- I thank God for each Andrew every one of of your veterans who bravely fought, especially,but

[@knightcr1]

...but not only WWI,WWII,and Korea.This Yank Will never forget.

[@langleybeliever7789]

Sorry about that . We love Americans . Dont let the thoughts of one taint your thoughts of Canada . God bless America and Canada .

[@davidschwarz6877]

Thank you to all veterans for fighting for all of our freedoms,rights,and liberties. May we all never forget!

[@michellekukuev6744]

We remember our heroes who fought for our land and freedom thank you very much to all veterans who put their lives at risk for us an the ones that are still working for us thank you so so much

[@JGULLIF]

Thanks to all Canadian heros.

[@leahluostarinen]

Yes Rememberance day is a time to remember thoughs who faught in the wars for us😊🇨🇦

[@raydawg2115]

@James Ray it was necessary at the time. For all we know we could be under a dictatorship at this very moment if it wasn't for our soldiers. Regardless of your beliefs it was absolutely necessary at that time. So in essence it's because of them we are able to live free today.

[@raydawg2115]

@James Ray if Germany was successful at defeating the Soviets wouldn't dictatorship have been successful as well? I also believe the axis may have taken us over because they were fueled by greed and the want for domination as well as the allies. There is no evidence that they would not have done that is there? Whichever way you look it was a struggle for power. There would have been central banks from the other side that would have ruled the world. One way or another it came down to protecting our people from something that was going to happen regardless. By the way I appreciate your opinions because having this dialogue with you is a great way for me to learn. I'm not super versed in my history so I must say I'm coming at this from a belief/educated standpoint and not a fully research based one so please don't take offence to what I'm saying because I'm trying to learn here whilst being mindful and respectful of your perspective/thoughts.

[@juliahanoukaev4853]

Happy Remembrance Day. We should never forget for those who gave us future generations life. We stand for you! We remember! We pray! LETS WE FORGET !🙏

[@33maple]

Happy Remembrance Day ....poor choice of words.

[@kazuya99ace]

Lest*

[@victoria_atmosphere9290]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

[@ildart8738]

The fact that the federal Government treats the the veterans so bad disgusts me as a serving member

[@chinajoenotmyprez1371]

It was all just for show. We are in a war for our freedoms against COVID and nobody seems to care.

[@ledacedar6253]

Dam good to hear & see every Indigenous Veteran has finally, in 2020 been included in the ceremony. Thanks to the CBC radio show that did this this morning; and I am hoping this journalist raises this point on inclusion versus #150+ years of colonial exclusion!

[@Adam-eo5yl]

They were always included as they were members of the Canadien armed forces it was just underlined that they are a part of our family for people that were not aware. We are finally starting to included the traditions of Native Americans in out ceremonies to increase the inclusion into the organization.

[@Adam-eo5yl]

The colonial exclusion wasn't because we were preventing them from celebrating their heritage. There's lots of indigenous activities in the armed forces. They were just keeping with military tradition in the ceremonies but as time and leadership changes so do traditions.

[@audreyaitken1037]

To those who served and who serve...thank you for all you gave/give

[@riggermortisfpv526]

Tell that directly to one and see what they think about the current removal of freedom while celebrating their service. What they fought for during the 40's IS COMPLETELY GONE !! Stop deluding yourself and hero worshiping. Men like me were tricked and used.

[@thedel775]

All the best to all that remember. Thank you.

[@sofarleftturnigright]

My grandfather fought in WW2.....and what did he fight for???? FREEDOM!!!! Our ancestors fought against those who would try to enslave us, they put aside safety because they knew that our rights and freedoms are more important than safety.

[@cultivatekindnessabodah788]

Happy Remembrance Day. Thank you for all your service . We will never forget you .

[@juliestammis3010]

One can save millions, but millions can't save one 💔💔💔💔 😓

[@larryjohnstone6260]

We often reflect on family members who have passed that were veterans. Two songs i always loved are Bryan Adams remembrance day, and Gordon lightfoot's patriots dream.

[@jholmzjholmz6592]

To our Canadian mates across the seas thank you for your service. Lest We Forget.

[@georgegoertzen4723]

I'd like to comment to George Slade. I wish him not to feel any embarrassment about appearing before the cameras or 'being the center of attention'. He put a live face for us to see and he shared, not only difficult, but dangerous situations with us, making it all the more real for those of us who only know what he had to live and function through from news reels, books or portrails in movies. My father tried to serve several times but kept getting found out for being too young. When he was finally old enough, his military career was shortened by the end of the war and he never did get overseas. Thankfully he's still here, and celebrated his 95th birthday last month. Geroge, thank you for your willingness to sacafice all your tomorrows so we can live today as we do.

[@nemomatar2043]

We don’t realize what they did for us, how can we ever smile knowing what happened in the wars. My great grandma and grandpa fought in the war and my grandma died from old age and my grandpa died on the battlefield. Lest we forget the people who fought for us.

[@jacobcook2276]

that old man broke my heart he wants to remember his brothers in arms so bad

[@PwnagePicturesInc]

Salute to all the vets and people currently in military service 🙏

[@cr3262]

A veteran is telling his war service story, and the cameras switch to the PM and his wife's arrival as more important than the cameras staying on the living and breathing war veteran telling his story! They are very few left in Canada, and the CBC takes the cameras off of him! Get your priorities straight for this day! After he told his story you could have switched the cameras over to the PM and his wife. Show more respect!

[@chinajoenotmyprez1371]

I was there they wouldn’t let anyone close to see the ceremony and they had a heavy police presence everywhere with gates and large city trucks blocking off the entire area it didn’t feel like I was in a free country anymore.

[@northerndynamo8093]

You're not in a free country anymore. The freedom we had ended in 2015, and we have been governed by globalists and Laurentian elitists ever since. That elitist clique don't have any use for us.
