Nova Scotia’s premier is slamming a recent order prohibiting workers in certain court facilities from wearing poppies while on duty.
In a post on his X account, Premier Tim Houston said the order was issued under the guise that the poppy is a political statement.
“This is disgusting,” he said. “The poppy is not a political statement. It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country. Poppies have been worn in Canada since 1921.”
