Federal political leaders calling on Canadians to find different ways to remember the sacrifices of the country's war veterans
BY , Nov 5, 2020 10:47 PM - REPORT AN ERRORFederal political leaders are calling on Canadians to find different ways to remember the sacrifices of the country's war veterans, despite the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a speech today marking Veterans' Week and Remembrance Day in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted how many Canadians have been supporting veterans throughout the pandemic by delivering groceries and helping them in other ways.
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says Remembrance Day this year can be marked by watching online services, holding veterans in prayers or by simply wearing a poppy, even if no one else can see it.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Canadians can show their gratitude to veterans not only by remembering those who fought wars decades ago, but by also thanking members of the military who more recently came to the rescue when COVID-19 overwhelmed long term care homes in some parts of the country.
