"We shall not sleep, though #poppies grow In Flanders Fields" Poem In Flanders Fields by Canadian army field surgeon John McCrae of #Guelph Canada writing after 2nd battle of Ypres Belgium 1915 World War One #RememberThem #LestWeForget #CanadaRemembers #RemembranceDay
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at National War Memorial Ottawa. One of the greatest traditions I've seen started when Canadians spontaneously laid their poppies on the tomb after the first unknown solder was interred in May 2000.

Annual reminder that Pride is for...
π΄ Those who are out & proud
π Those who are not out yet (or maybe ever)
π‘ Folks still "figuring things out"
π’ Folks who have "always known"
π΅ People trying out new labels or ways of being
π£ People in transitionary periods
βͺοΈ Those being loud and proud activists
Probably for similar reasons that Royal Succession in Canada does not violate s15 or s28 of Charter. See article 2 Japan Constitution, "The Imperial Throne shall be dynastic and succeeded to in accordance with the Imperial House Law passed by the Diet." japan.kantei.go.jp/constitution...

#Coffee and Bears will make your day. Unfortunately you will have to travel to the #Netherlands to enjoy this espresso. But the do serve a proper 'High #Tea' with lots of treats too. www.lunchroom-dekoffiebranderij.nl
Never had much interest in #motorcycles till I stumbled across #OffSheGoes by Runa Grydeland of Norway on youtube. Have really enjoyed her adventures on her Husqvarna Norden 901 especially New Zealand and Wales (with #LNRmoto who has a great Namibia trip). Pretty much hooked.
Might be easier to practice military law in Australia and New Zealand. I'm sure there are a lot of 'Liams' there to keep you busy. Plus all year beach tanning weather.
