They used to say that in USSR 1.0, too, before the wall came down - mind you, how much better things are can be open to debate, but still …

Yeah - lotsa left-wing buzzword bingo to be played in a lot of this stuff, for sure. Indeed. Hey, being in a free country means being able to not read what we want, for sure. Still, can't fight the other side without knowing how the other side plays ;)

I don't see it as such, either, but there's a WIDE range of opinion in that direction out there: mostly "peaceniks" & anti-colonialists/SJW's (with the latter likely more now than in the past), folks at that end of the political spectrum. In the spirit of "sharing to learn about the other...

And governments of both main colours federally have continued to muddy the waters this way for years.

Softwood tariffs hit hard in northern Ontario under Red & Blue governments years back. What I’d hear then was (just like with mines closing), “hey, time for people in remote areas to move to where the work is." Wonder how well that would work comforting them? Yeah, the same people who said it...

Thanks for that - much appreciated! Interesting, considering this is also the case in SK: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/news-and-media/2023/november/01/province-looking-to-protect-the-right-of-workers-to-wear-a-poppy

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "F**k Trudeau" flags, t-shirts & bumper stickers were out there well before the worst of Trudeau's faults were coming through. Bang on - #PoliticalRorschach right there.

Saw that -- should have been clearer: was it a judge, the judges en-masse (via the Executive Office of the Nova Scotia Judiciary) or the exec office staff? Also saw this in another story: The bit in yellow makes me think a cog in the wheel somewhere came up with the Good Idea Fairy Idea, but...

Hate to pick nits, but did a judge issue the ruling, or a court administrator, or a provincial AG office? Still rates scrutiny re: is a poppy a “political” symbol (to me, it’s not), but let’s hound the right people in this :)

Less typing than “those people.” Random partisan beastings will continue until morale improves.

Yeah, that'll lead to a solution that'll make everyone happy, no matter who's in government :(

Next step down: no more honourary Vice-Admiral rank, but gets to keep his operational medals. https://www.theroyalobserver.com/p/king-charles-draws-a-line-in-the-sand-and-allows-andrew-to-keep-one-honor-in-surprising-move

In the words of Saul Goodman ....

My hope springs eternal, but my add in yellow is my more cynical take - I'm happy to be wrong about another sausage machine to go through speeding things up, though. Meanwhile, people out there do notice, and not just for Canada ...
