i didn't buy a poppy because the legion kinda sucks and their messaging has been far more about venerating the armed forces than a somber reflection on the horrors of war for a long time

Yeah also that. It's become a bit of something "good canadians" do on autopilot like buying tim's coffee etc.

I remember a couple years back the legion put out an extremely pissy press release about the RIGHT way to wear a poppy to show sufficient respect and after that I was kind of like "nah"

How hard is it for them to put the poppy on a double sided piece of tape like gently caress will I poke holes through my water proof windbreaker

That said a few years back one of them fixed one on my partner's fleece and it was a motherfucker to get removed, so there is a way to do it that is fairly well put in place, unlike all the ones I have dropped on the ground over the years

I had a couple rare earth magnets glued on mine which worked really good and didn't punch any holes but they specifically mentioned using tape or magnets was bad for some reason, laff. So now I just go whatever is it november 12 yet

Don Cherry never trends on twitter for the reason I hope for

is that even a proper Legion poppy or is he wearing a bootleg one without having donated to them while being performative about it?

if your connection to our troops is getting paid to go overseas and put on a show, perhaps you can suck a gently caress when it comes to shaming people about remembrance day

speaking of, some views on why the legion may not be quite what it presents, from 2016

I mentioned this in the NHL thread a while back but after constantly hearing that the Maple Leafs were named after a specific WW1-era regiment I decided to verify that claim. Instead it turns out that they were probably just named after a more popular (at the time) baseball team founded in 1896 so their much ballyhooed connection with the military is tenuous at best.

We've clearly never been to the same legions. Drinking in those places makes me want to blow my brains out. Nothing says fun like drinking poo poo beer at a plastic folding table surrounded by the elderly.

I'm not buying a poppy because
a) it's more plastic detritus
b) the jalopy I bought has one pinned to the upholstery

Also, I wonder if the doctor's moral exemption bullshit could work both ways? What if you're a doctor who loving LOVES aborting, could you open up an abortion megaplex & discount euthanasia center?
