Speaking of which my SIL is nominating Shirl to be the National Silver Cross Mother - lets hope it works out, I would love to march once again with the Old Guard. Edward Campbell will you join me in that? Dangerboy you too

If you guys could swing that I’d be honoured to buy the first round afterwards

Hopefully we will make the French version more acceptable first if we decide to go down that rabbit hole.

The bilingual version, as used by the Government of Canada and certain Montreal sports teams, is actually the most religious version, as it includes both the English references to God and the French references to carrying the cross.

The gov't, writ large, is, I think, correct to want to reduce the extent to which any religion is seen to be "established' or dominant.

Monday Nov., 13 is the Stat. Holiday.

We had a poll, and twelve-page discussion, about that. Opinions varied.
