Ezra Levant and Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day: Heres a bigger disgrace: using the strong emotions evoked by Remembrance Day to drum up resentment against immigrants and religious minorities for completely imaginary disloyalty. Which is what Levant does, according to The Star. s Remembrance Day coverage: November 11, wrote Sun Media columnist Ezra Levant on Tuesday, is a day of remembering why we are free, and what we stand for, and who sacrificed to make us this way. He goes on: Its a disgrace that any family would object to it He writes that a memo sent to schools from the Greater Essex County District School Board in southwestern Ontario says teachers should be prepared to exempt Muslim students from Remembrance Day. He expresses indignation that an immigrant family who came here to benefit from our country would disrespect our observance and surmises that Muslim families objecting to Remembrance Day may be suggesting Canada has been wrong in fighting fascists ranging from Hitler to the Taliban.
