In honour of Remembrance Day and as a tribute to Canada’s veterans, a new commemorative crosswalk has been added on Kent Street at MacLaren, across from the Legion. This is part of a national movement to recognize the sacrifices that veterans made on behalf of all of us.

Since I’m still in Montreal, we can’t forget the incredible anti-war protest song oeuvre of Québécois poet and songwriter Felix Leclerc.

Here’s ‘100 000 façons de tuer un homme’ :

I’m going to be playing war protest songs all day today and I’ll start with one from the Iraq War. Sheryl Crow’s song writing is brilliant in this.

On this Remembrance Day, we want to recognize the importance of war artists in documenting the everyday reality and horrible costs of warfare.
Tonight on #PrideMonthArtistLove we are taking a different tack for one night only. The reason why is that this is the 80th Anniversary of the D Day invasion and we want to highlight an almost unknown female War Artist named Elsie Gledstanes.

This is really great and I’m glad that school children are going to learn history in an engaging manner.
