Beaconsfield’s Remembrance Day ceremony a chance to reflect on democracy
Saturday’s event honoured armed forces personnel and those who died in service.
“I’ve served with a lot of military people around the world and it is very important that we remember their sacrifice,” said former United Nations contractor Cornelius Campbell after the ceremony in Beaconsfield.For some, like Gratton, it was a time to reflect on what is happening in the world, including in Ukraine.He and Quebec Liberal Party MNA Gregory Kelley are cautioning that Canadians should not take democracy for granted.
“It seems the world is in such a fragile place,” Gratton pointed out, “that some of those echoes of what we saw in the 1930s are very much back in the forefront of what’s going on in the world.”“Trying to restrict voting rights, trying to really erode the institutions of democracy in the United States, questioning whether or not elections are valid,” he said. “That is very troubling.”
