Remembrance Day: Debt of Gratitude
Pierre Poilievre
Battle River-Crowfoot MP
As we prepare to mark Remembrance Day, we reflect on our debt of gratitude to those who fought for Canada at sea, on land and in the air.
In our nation’s capital, I am always proud to represent the outstanding men and women of CFB Wainwright, along with serving and former CAF personnel from across this incredible riding.
Veterans’ Week gives us a chance to appreciate and honour these brave Canadians, whose dedication to Canada did not end when they took off the uniform. Parents and grandparents, first-responders and business owners - valued leaders in our society, for whom the military was just one of the ways they served.
We think of the thousands of Albertans who returned from the World Wars and built the prosperous, safe and free province that so many of us love and remember. Their legacy can be found today on family farms and storefronts across our communities, and in veterans of our own time who embody that same entrepreneurial spirit.
As Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot and Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, I want to thank our incredible veterans for everything they’ve done for Canada: both abroad and at home.
May we be inspired by their example to build a better country for all.
Lest we forget.
