I just voted and was astounded at the no vote! Came here right away to see if anyone had commented...and of course I wasn't disappointed. This is somewhat equivalent to asking people whether they agree with complicated physics formulas....how would they know?? Didn't stop them from voting...

ER...yes I know the hymn well...and love it. I was referring to the fact that the Great War cenotaphs all seemed to coin this phrase/ quote and of course our Legions too adopted the phrase.

I agree to a certain extent. We do suffer from the "mentality of mediocrity" in most things...except hockey. When the going gets tough (or expensive) the Canadian public tends to want to cancel out. (Avro Arrow, EH101, HMCS Bras Dor etc...) The mentality of "quick fixing" things tends to be at...
