I cannot believe Canadians would allow their losses in The Great War to ever be forgotten.

Also WWII, in which Canadians did a lot of the dirty work. Canadians were assigned the hopeless task of defending Hong King. Most of the losses in the failed Dieppe landing of 1942 were Canadian. And many Canadians lost their lives driving the Germans from islands at the mouth of the Schelde River in Holland.

Americans should show solidarity and boycott Whole Foods. Go to Trader Joe’s, which carries many of the same products, and its pries are lower.

“...Wow. Who could be against that?”

You’d be surprised. When I went to University (1999-2003) for my bachelors’ degrees, and 2006-2007 for my M.Sc., the SJW student groups protested and harrassed Royal Canadian Legion poppy sellers to the point, where both they and the donation boxes were removed from campus. Essentially, the narrative was that the red poppy was a ‘blood-soaked glorification of murder and genocide’, and students, who wore the red poppy were likewise harassed and hounded with demands to remove their red poppies... That the ONLY acceptable poppy to wear, was the white ‘peace’ poppy. The Muslim Brotherhood (i.e. the so-called ‘Muslim Students Association’) was also right on board with that, saying that that the red poppy also “helped to promulgate the lies and exaggerations about the so-called ‘holocaust’ as justification for the theft, and ongoing occupation of Palestine, as well as the ongoing “lies about the so-called “Armenian Genocide”.

It made national news for a while, with the University President at the time having a photo opportunity at the campus Remembrance Day ceremony, but after the hubbub died down, in the years since, the left-wing campus student groups such as the aforementioned Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) and Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) have managed to keep the Remembrance Day poppies off campus.
