Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is confident a “solution” will be reached to allow Canada to honour its war dead on Remembrance Day by lowering the flag to half-mast.
Trudeau gave his strongest indication yet on Tuesday that the national flag could be raised and then lowered again at federal buildings on Remembrance Day.
An employee will have the right to wear a poppy while on the job during Remembrance Week under legislative amendments to be introduced this week, the Toronto Sun has learned.
The move planned for Wednesday follows a decision by Whole Foods to block their staff from pinning the familiar red symbol of remembrance on their work uniforms in a blanket policy against political messaging.
