I haven't earned the right to have a strong opinion Remembrance Day ceremonies. I won't question what is, or is not important to those that have.
But speaking more broadly, as a rural 6th generation white boy raised in the UCC on crown deeded land, with respect to wanting to raise my kids in the same Canada I was raised in, if take a glance South at the fundamentalism shaping US politics, then at the GTA at the increasing political influence and demographic weight of those whose values I don't share (looking at you Hamas supporters), I view the "de-Christianizing" of any aspect of the Federal government, no matter how seemingly trivial, less as an attack on my traditions/culture then as the price to be paid to try to keep the Canada as I know it safe from fundamentalism of any stripe.
