We don't have Memorial Day in Canada. We have Remembrance Day on November 11. But same thing here - people are happy to take the day off without really thinking why it's a holiday. Kind of sad.
Hmmm. Hitler annexed the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia in October 1938, claiming if for ethnically-German Czechs who were being discriminated against. Putin annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine in April 2014, claiming it for ethnically-Russian Ukranians who were being discriminated against. So, clearly, there are NO similarities. It will be interesting to see if Mr. P will subsequently take the rest of Ukraine. Just like Mr. Hitler did in Czechoslovakia. Ahem.
