We must honour the costs paid by our soldiers by resolving to defend the thing they went to war for: democracy
Nearly 116,000 Canadians died in military service during the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War and the war in Afghanistan . People lay poppies on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier following the Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, on Nov. 11, 2022.Every Nov. 11, Canadians are asked to spend two minutes in quiet contemplation of the sacrifices of the soldiers, sailors and air force personnel who served in defence of this country.
They suffered, but they were not victims. They fought for something. For the right to live in peace. For human dignity, for justice. To protect others. For something bigger than themselves, they were willing to spend years of their life in fear, willing to be grievously injured, willing even to die. What has been Canada’s response? Yes, Ottawa has provided some aid to Ukraine, chiefly of existing equipment. But on the more important issue of arming Canada so that this country can do its part to defend global peace and order, the Liberals have offered little more than platitudes, leavened by prevarication., the government’s supposed plan to fulfill its NATO commitments is based on implausible economic numbers.
