as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

(let's keep politics, including opinions on current operations of the Canadian Forces, out of this thread, please?)

Saw the ceremony before the hockey game at the ACC last night.
Think what you will of MLSE, but they put on a very classy ceremony, I thought, including Johnny Bower reciting "In Flanders Field"

| Thanks DKS
So it looks like a Canadian Military uniform.
Does the Prince of Wales have some military significance in the Canadian Armed forces? (I know HRH does)

Is she not technically Commander in Chief even above the GG?

We should probably start a separate thread if we're going to get into protocol, but in a nutshell the Queen is styled Her Majesty, not HRH. She is most definitely above the GG, and constitutionally the command-in-chief of is vested in the Queen. However, the Governor General acts as Commander in Chief by virtue of the Letters Patent Constituting the Office of the Governor General of Canada. |

The inside of the Scarborough Town Centre completely stopped today for 2 mins at 11. A very impressive sign of respect. |

There wasn't even an announcement in my office building today, so some folks didn't have any idea it was 11am until the 4 CF-18s flew over and shook the windows (but they didn't do the pull up of the missing man formation for some reason). I believe it was Micheal Potter's Spitfire that was buzzing downtown a short time later too.
