Why are the British Home Children ever mention.? There were more than 100,000 sent to Canada as "orphans" . 12 % of our current population are descendants. However, they are never recognized like the Indigenous, and never seem to be considered part of our History or their contribution to Canada. During WW1, 1,000 Home Boys paid the ultimate sacrifice, most common date of death was April 9, 1917 , the first day of the Battle at Vimy Ridge.
Very well put Brad, Times for a short duration have changed but a future is ours if work together around these bad obstacles that need an adjustment with good memories going forward after we weed the garden and lawns to see much green again just like winter to spring
Trudeau doesn't have the right to be mentioned in the same sentence as Gordon LightFoot , it's a sacrilege to all Canadians. I only wish we were gathered here today to celebrate the passing of Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau is not only destroying Canadian History he is rewriting it to fit his New Canada. I read some where Trudeau is in the process of changing Canadian Law Enforcement Badges which have symbolic ties to Britain. It's just one more step in braking away from the ties to the British Common Wealth. This new badges are being referred to as Trudeau Badges , maybe they have a picture of himself on them?

Ukrainians, Italians and Germans were put in Canadian internment camps during Ww1 and 2.

McClung. I have a family member who was a POW in Germany and mentioned in that book.
Excellent commentary.
