NDP statement on Remembrance Day

NDP Leader Don Davies issued the following statement:

“Today serves as a reminder to all Canadians to join together and honour the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to protect our country.

Veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces are vital in protecting freedom and building a safer world. And sadly, for many, their commitment to standing up for these ideals came at the ultimate cost.

I am proud to wear a poppy as a sign of respect to all those who have served our country, and as a tribute to the families who have lost their loved ones who served.

Their courage and integrity are an inspiration to us all, and we will always be grateful for their sacrifice.

Lest we forget.”
