Went down to Eaton Center hours before starting my holiday 2 weeks ago. I was not rushing for any forms of shopping. Instead, I was looking for a "poppy pin" which is internationally recognized to remember the victims and whoever to contributed peace during the WWII. I have been to two places where massive massacre happened.
Auschwitz, Poland and Nanjing, China
The former was a concentration camp where over 1 million lives were killed and tortured by the Nazi.
200000 to 400000 civilians were estimated to be massacred in Nanjing in 1937 and countless numbers of victims suffered from various war crimes such as rape, live experiments and massacre contests.Human lives are valuable. Everyone is unique, and has the right to live. Nobody should kill the others. November is a month in Canada traditionally to remember those sacrificed during the war and to remind the ones alive war affairs are just disasters.
I hope the younger generations won't take the poppy pin as a fashion in November. We should all understand the meaning behind
