Honouring Canada’s Fallen
Canadians have a different style of patriosm than a lot of countries. More stoic, I guess. Many Canadians have secretly admired the passionate patriotism showed by their neighbours to the South. That being said, they have really started to shine when honouring Canadians that have fallen in Afghanistan.
Have a look at this slide show.
More info: “In Ontario, when a Canadian soldier dies for his country in Afghanistan they touch Canadian soil at Canadian Forces Base Trenton. From there, a funeral procession leaves the base and heads to Toronto, Ontario taking our departed heroes to the Centre for Forensic Sciences. Along the 172km path of Highway 401 people fill the overpasses to show their support, waving Canadian flags and signs, in a sort of paying their respects to the fallen and their families.”
