Anyone else see less poppy boxes out this year? Me and my wife noticed most were also the digital tap kind.

About the same as other years in this part of the 807. Haven’t seen a single digital one yet.

In Winnipeg they are all over. Even in the local DIY store, and a few places I never expected them to be.

All over my home town! Even the local pizza shop has a poppy box!

This is just one Canadian city.

Only for the First World War.

It helps illustrate the vast scale of what the community experienced, at the same time.

It shows the specific homes whose doors opened to a dreaded telegram between 1914 to 1918.

Yes, he's covered much the same way that a class A primary reservist is covered, "while employed in sanctioned events."

One might argue following children into a restaurant to berate them wasn't a part of his duties.

Picked up mine at my neighborhood FoodFare.

Ok it's last post. High five. Last note. Lower hand. According to the manual the next song is the rouse. Better high five! WRONG. I was the only person saluting the bag pipes. I became a statue until it was over.

I suspect had he not been so seriously injured, that he probably would be facing an investigation himself.

No, they just don't want a box full of money in some locations. Saves a lot of headache for the business owner who doesn't have to worry about getting beat by the local zombies for a couple dollars....
