Beautiful weather today. Got another garden under control.
------------------------------------------
Today is Indigenous Veterans Remembrance Day, and I have mixed emotions.
While I can understand why they would want special recognition for their sacrifices, it seem to me that this just emphasizes the "us versus them" narrative. Will they not be part of the Remembrance Day ceremonies? Or do they want to be remembered twice?
I will honour Remembrance Day on the 11th, thinking about all veterans, including Barbara's and Jo-Ann's native grandfather. May those who made the ultimate sacrifice rest in peace.
Stoney Creek, due to the coronavirus, will once again not have a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph. So Mardi and I will make do with watching the tribute on CBC.

Stay well.
