In its 58-page Poppy Manual, the RCL glorifies war, quoting Brigadier-General A.E. Ross describing Vimy Ridge as an event that marked the “birth of a nation,” and adding, “No longer would Canada be overshadowed by the military strength of her allies. This battle had proven Canada’s ability as a formidable force in the theatre of war.” The word “peace” is mentioned 0 times throughout the entire document.

The document also states that in addition to being a symbol of remembrance, the poppy is a “symbol of unity” behind, and “collective reminiscence” of, what Canadian soldiers have done, and continue to do, in “all wars” (Not just whatever cherrypicked ones you support)
