00:00:00 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Wednesday, November the 11th, Remembrance
00:00:11 Day, 5.59 a.m. Thank you so much for being here today. And this video will be shorter
00:00:16 than usual, at least I hope so, and different than what you might see on other YouTube channels
00:00:23 you regularly visit. I like to do things like that. Before I went to bed last night, I was
00:00:28 talking with my wife, and I told her I had an idea for a video this morning on Remembrance Day.
00:00:34 I said, I want to do a video, would they be proud? And she said, what do you mean? I said,
00:00:41 would the people that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country be proud of the Canada of today,
00:00:48 the state that it is in, the people that control the country right now? Would they be proud of
00:00:54 this. Is this what they fought for? Now, I do not speak for these people, but she thought it was an
00:00:59 interesting idea. I said, if you've got any ideas for me, send them to me. So what I'm going to do
00:01:04 right now in this short video is maybe include some of her thoughts as well. I was thinking about
00:01:09 this this morning. This is from CTV News just yesterday. Ottawa says 4,306 Canadian veterans
00:01:17 of the Second World War and Korea still alive today. The numbers go down every year. And to
00:01:22 those people who are still alive, thank you very much for your service. But this video will be
00:01:27 about would they be proud? So would they be proud that young people struggle to find work in this
00:01:39 country with youth unemployment around 13%? Would they be proud that those that do work don't have
00:01:46 much of a chance to ever afford a home. Would they be proud that people are being crowded out
00:01:53 by others who have come to this country that have no knowledge of our past and no knowledge of the 0.99
00:01:59 country's sacrifice? Would they be proud of a country, a prime minister, a government that is
00:02:05 intent on relinquishing a portion of Canada's sovereignty to the European Union while saying
00:02:11 it is the opposite. Would they be proud of the people who believe him? The baby boomers, the
00:02:18 seniors, those people who should know better, those people who were raised to understand the 0.62
00:02:23 meaning of Remembrance Day. Would they be proud as we tear down our statues and rename our streets
00:02:33 and places and rewrite our history and indoctrinate our children? The white copy. 1.00
00:02:40 That's supposed to be a symbol of peace that represents all who were affected by war,
00:02:45 both civilians and non-civilians.
00:02:48 The black poppy seeks to highlight and remember the contributions of African, Black, and Caribbean
00:02:53 people to war. 1.00
00:02:54 The purple poppy highlights all animals that were harmed in war.
00:02:58 And the rainbow poppy, although there is no official organization behind it with a clear
00:03:03 message, it has been seen in recent years and some claim it is associated with the contributions
00:03:09 the LGBTQ community has made to war efforts.
00:03:13 Would they be proud that the elderly in our country 1.00
00:03:16 can barely afford to feed and house themselves?
00:03:20 Would they be proud that Canada now increasingly offers
00:03:23 a permanent way out, then a way to stay?
00:03:27 Would they be proud of a government that insists on engaging
00:03:30 a human rights abusing dictator while ignoring
00:03:34 our most important trading partner, insulting it?
00:03:37 In terms of the security risks of our partnership, they are much, much, much, much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.
00:03:44 Would they be proud of a country that has more and more people who can't afford to feed themselves?
00:03:52 Would they be proud of a country that seems bound and determined to slowly strip away the right to speech?
00:04:03 Would they be proud of these things?
00:04:06 I don't know that they would.
00:04:08 Again, I do not speak for the people who came before us, who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
00:04:14 And of course, there are many other things I could add to this list.
00:04:18 But I don't know that they'd be proud of the country that they see today.
00:04:22 I certainly would like to meet some of them and ask them.
00:04:27 I'm proud to wear this poppy today.
00:04:29 I wear it to honor those people.
00:04:32 I'm not proud of the country I live in today.
00:04:35 That's why I call myself an Albertan. What I hope you will do today is to take a few moments
00:04:42 to be silent on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Thank you so much for watching.
00:04:52 If you like this video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for
00:04:56 notifications. I'll see you in the next one. In Flanders fields, the poppies blow between the
00:05:03 crosses, row on row, that mark our place, and in the sky, the larks, still bravely singing, fly,
00:05:14 scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago, we lived, felt dawn,
00:05:23 saw sunset glow, loved and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders' fields.
00:05:31 Take up our quarrel with the foe, to you from failing hands we throw, the torch be yours to
00:05:41 hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders
00:05:51 fields.
