Nova Scotia ( Alleged) Poppy Ban issued by Judge

[Blackadder1916]

A poppy is a symbol of remembrance of war dead. There is no one extant for which it could be a symbol of support.

If the numerous advertisements featuring the RCL's trademarked symbol that pop up on my screens are to be believed the campaign has changed to remembering and honouring "veterans".

The Poppy

À compter du dernier vendredi d’octobre, jusqu’au jour du Souvenir, des millions de Canadiens et de Canadiennes portent le coquelicot comme la promesse concrète de ne jamais oublier ceux et celles qui se sont sacrifiés pour notre liberté.

"Wear a Poppy to honour and remember Canada's Veterans."

I'll continue to wear a poppy in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but as much as I appreciate the thanks of my fellow citizens for my service, they do not need to include me in the symbology of the poppy.

That's BS, and you are right, of course.
