Over 400 Mi'kmaq served in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War? Yet First Nations weren't recognized as Canadians until 1956 and couldn’t vote until 1960. Thus, we were allowed to fight and die for a country that didn't recognize us as citizens.
Least we forget.
Thankful for all who served ❤️❤️❤️

Jeneroux, as quoted, sounds like what hostage who has a gun at his head might say. So, the positioning is: Not crossing, not supporting the Liberals, no issues with leadership but leaving because I'm a sore loser & wanted to be on a winning team. Okayyyy.
