      REMEMBRANCE
      DAY
      DRAWS
      NEAR,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      poppies
      start
      appearing
      on
      lapels.
      As
      everyone
     
     
      knows,
      the
      poppy
      is
      a
      symbol
      to
      remind
      of
      us
     
     
      those
      who
      died
      in
      the
      World
      Wars.
      But
      as
      the
     
     
      ranks
      of
      veterans
      start
      to
      dwindle,
      some
      people
     
     
      have
      forgotten
      what
      these
      wars
      were
      all
      about.
     
     
      Racists
      claim
      that
      the
      Holocaust
      never
      occurred,
     
     
      despite
      the
      fact
      that
      six
      million
      Jews,
      hundreds
      of
     
     
      thousands
      of
      Poles,
      and
      many
      other
      innocents
     
     
      were
      butchered.
      How
      can
      anyone
      have
      the
     
     
      audacity
      to
      deny
      that
      this
      ever
      happened?
     
    

    
     
      We
      have
      all
      seen
      the
      commercials
      for
      the
     
     
      WarAmps,
      and
      many
      of
      us
      use
      their
      key
      tags
      and
     
     
      address
      labels.
      These
      men
      have
      created
      an
     
     
      excellent
      organization,
      but
      who
      will
      carry
      on
     
     
      after
      the
      last
      veterans
      of
      World
      War
      II
      and
      Korea
     
     
      retire?
      Canada
      has
      not
      sent
      soldiers
      to
      war
      in
     
     
      more
      than
      forty
      years.
      A
      peacekeeping
      mission
     
     
      isn’t
      the
      same
      as
      being
      sent
      to
      fight
      actively.
     
     
      Peacekeeping
      is
      acommendable
      duty,
      and
      Canada
     
     
      has
      done
      more
      than
      its
      fair
      share.
      Because
      of
      this,
     
     
      Canada
      has
      a
      reputation.as
      a
      peaceful
      nation.
     
    

    
     
      Recently,
      Canada’s
      peaceful
      reputation
     
     
      has
      been
      in
      dispute.
      The
      death
      ofa
      Somalian
      teen
     
    

    
     
      _
      at
      the
      hands
      of
      Canadian
      soldiers
      is-the
      main
     
     
      _Teason
      for
      this.
      It’s
      shameful
      that
      the
      actions
      of
     
     
      -
      a
      handful
      of
      men
      could
      besmirch
      the
      name
      of
      an
     
     
      .
      entire
      country.
      Of
      course,
      the
      fact
      that
      these
     
     
      soldiers
      murdered
      a
      boy
      is
      despicable.
      They
     
     
      obviously
      forgot
      what
      the
      purpose
      of
      a
      peate-
     
     
      keeping
      mission
      is--
      to
      protect
      the
      populace
      from
     
     
      its
      warlike
      elements.
     
     
      I
      truly
      hope
      that
      Canada
      will
      maintain
      its
     
     
      Status
      as
      a
      nonviolent
      nation.
      The
      US
      has
      been
     
    
   
   
    
     
      criticized
      for
      its
      ten-
     
     
      dency
      to
      leap
      into
      the
     
     
      fray
      to
      uphold
      democ-
     
     
      racy.
      It’s
      good
      that
     
     
      someone
      will
      do
      this
     
     
      ‘dirty
      work,’
      but
      the
     
     
      Americans
      sometimes
     
     
      seem
      to
      avoid
      situa-
     
     
      tions
      where
      they
     
     
      should
      interfere,
      and
     
     
      interfere
      where
      they
     
     
      should
      stay
      out.
      Be-
     
     
      cause
      ofthis,
      and
      other
     
     
      policies,
      Americans
     
     
      are
      resented
      in
      many
     
     
      countries.

      least
      it
      used
      to.
      Now
     
     
      people
      fail
      to
      see
      any
     
     
      difference
      between
      us”
     
     
      and
      our
      southern
     
     
      neighbours.
     
    

    
     
      To
      be
      certain,
     
     
      Canadians
      and
      Ameri-
     
     
      cans
      are
      similar,
      but
     
     
      far
      from
      identical.
      I
     
     
      hope
      that
      people
      in
     
     
      other
      nations
      will
      not

      they
     
     
      do,
      we

      one
      day

      in
      a
      poor
     
     
      light,
      board
      policy
      and
      procedure
      has
      been
     
     
      ignored,
      and
      a
      decision
      has
      been
      made
      to
     
     
      appease
      members
      of
      the
      public
      who
      are
      not
     
     
      willing
      to
      put
      their
      names
      to
      their
      opinions.
     
     
      What
      guarantees
      do
      we
      have
      that
      this
      has
      not
     
     
      happened
      in
      the
      past
      or
      will
      not
      happen
      in
      the
     
     
      future.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      time,
      UPEI
      students
      have
      some
      serious
      ques-
     
     
      tions
      about
      the
      competency
      of
      the
      Board
      of
     
     
      Governors,
      but
      before
      asking
      for
      a
      review
      of
     
     
      the
      membership
      of
      the
      Board,
      we
      would
      like
     
     
      to
      have
      you
      clear
      up
      any
      potential
      misunder-
     
     
      standings
      of
      your
      decision
      in
      this
      case.
