Canadian Remembrance Day is so confusing.

We're going to remember the horrors and futility of the great war, mourn the absolute waste of so many young lives, and vow to never do it again.

And we're going do so by sincerely reciting transparent war propaganda?

That's really weird.

Wondering if you're qualified?

One of the last police commissioners sneered and made fun of public input on how they were policed.

If you could thoughtfully listen to and consider what residents have to say, you're more qualified than they were.

Go for it!
