We’re doing a little bit not enough. We are not yet on the right side of history. This is a genocide. I and many Canadians who voted for you do not want this blood on our hands. It’s so much more than mo ey and power. It’s ethics, morality and humanity. Please do the right thing.
Canada is a compassionate country working towards reconciliation among its people by acknowledging the wrongdoing from the past. It's paramount that the government officially takes concrete steps to show support for the Palestinians to determine their future and to contribute to stopping the killing of innocent civilians.
Absolutely unacceptable; this cenotaph has been a mainstay in Shubenacadie my entire life. As someone who has many family members who have served, I find this incredibly disrespectful to all veterans. Please return the cenotaph to where it belongs.
This monument and its location is a core part of the community. I remember attending many Remembrance Day services there and think to moving it for more parking spaces seems incredibly short sighted.
My name is Mike Conley. I grew up in Shubie and the stories told about that cenotaph were a contributing factor in my decision to join the Canadian Forces where I have proudly served for almost 19 years and continue to do so. The cenotaph needs to be moved back to its original position where it stood guard where brave men and women got on/off the trains in our town taking them to and from fighting. Moving it without public input was a monumental error in judgement.
In the midst of battling cancer, I began a journey of awakening that reshaped everything I thought I knew. As the treatments continued, I felt the weight of the system’s limitations and learned that natural medicines and therapies—those that could have helped me heal—were excluded from my healthcare plan. It struck me: the system is designed to suppress knowledge, not promote it. Even more alarming, I discovered that at birth, a fictional persona was created in my name, a legal construct, something separate from the real "me."
Then came the pandemic, and what I thought was a time of solidarity became a time of fear. My husband, a man of principle, refused to take the shot, and for six months, he couldn’t find work. All while I, like so many others, was forced to report personal medical information three times a week just to keep my job. What happened to privacy? What happened to freedom? This wasn’t the Canada I grew up in—the land of opportunity, of pride and liberty. This was a country in distress.
The price of everything kept rising—food, gas, even the air we breathe felt tainted. Our water, our soil, our very environment—poisoned in ways we couldn't even comprehend. And all of it was becoming unaffordable. What happened to the country of freedom, where people should have the opportunity to live comfortably, without fear of losing it all?
The more I learned, the clearer it became: corruption ran through every level of society. I began to see that my union, the very institution that should have protected me, was compromised—part of a broken system. I realized the taxes I was paying were not only unjust, but illegal. The government was treating citizens like cattle, with no regard for our rights or wellbeing. They were profiting off our suffering while hiding the truth.
All this while the world around me seemed to crumble. Public discourse had become a minefield. I was afraid to speak my mind online or in public for fear of being labeled, censored, or worse. Where was the freedom of speech? Where was the freedom to live authentically?
As I navigated the complexities of a world I once thought I understood, I became acutely aware of how little job security we really had, how fragile our futures were, and how little our families were being protected. This wasn’t the life we were promised—not from one of the richest nations in the world.
I’m not sure where this journey will lead, but one thing is clear: the system is broken, and those responsible need to be held accountable. I will not sit back in silence as the country I love slips further into darkness. The fight for truth, for justice, for freedom—it’s more urgent than ever.
I care about who comes to Canada because this country stands for kindness, diversity, and respect. I’m concerned that Donald Trump’s values and actions don’t align with what makes Canada special. I want to protect the peace and inclusivity we’ve built here. This isn’t about politics—it’s about preserving the character of our home.
