"The War to end all Wars" ended one hundred years ago to-day, Armistice
Day. It is not being much remembered here. One outstanding exception is
at the Church of the Covenant (Presbyterian), Euclid Avenue. They will
have a bell tolling one hundred times at 11 o'clock, and concerts. This
is a big deal in France. Leaders from some sixty countries came to
commemorate. From the United States a grand insult came, and shew forth.
Even in France, it is not always a sunny day.
Yesterday in Ottawa, Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau spoke:
"As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet and our hair gets wet and our shoes get wet, I think it's all the more fitting that we remember on that day, in Dieppe, the rain wasn't rain, it was bullets,".
