"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

Other remembrances and information can be found at the Veteran Affairs Canada Remembrance Week website, and on other pages on their site.

Their Links page has a wide variety of additional information.

If you are Canadian, please take the time to visit their pages and explore the reasons why there is a Remembrance Day, . The freedoms and privileges that Canadians enjoy and take for granted came at a price - take the time to learn the stories.
Please, no anti-war diatribes (they'll be deleted)- the clock cannot be set back. This isn't about where we are going, its about where we have been.
