With the 2026 Poppy Campaign underway, what are some of the ways Canadians can show their support for Veterans outside of wearing a Poppy? Here are some ideas!
👉Show you Remember by posting a photo of your Poppy on social media, and use #GetYourPoppy
👉If you’re a local organization, contact your local Legion Branch about requesting a collection box to support the 2026 Poppy Campaign.
👉Donate to the National Poppy Fund Online: legion.ca/donations

“Each year, Canadians step up with amazing support for the National Poppy Campaign,” says Sharon McKeown, Dominion President. “Their generosity and caring are what allow us to host a range of programs and support initiatives for our Veterans and their families across the country.”
For a third year, the Legion’s collaboration with Amazon Canada will allow Canadians to receive Remembrance lapel Poppies at their doors. People across our vast country can fulfill their wish to wear a Poppy, including where there are no Legion branches or it is more difficult to find one.
All funds raised locally during the campaign stay in the communities where they were donated. Close to 20 million dollars is donated to the Poppy Fund throughout the year to help Veterans, with much of that assistance coming in during the National Poppy Campaign. Funds go directly into initiatives to support Canada’s Veterans and their families and help promote Remembrance.

The chaos and disruption this party will bring to B.C. if elected will benefit the wealthy and completely upend communities and ordinary citizens.
There is no honesty or dedication to the people in anything BC Conservatives are offering.

Do the BC Conservatives have a sexism problem?
Outgoing MLA @amboultbee reflects on her tumultuous time in the B.C. Legislature with a unique perspective as both a BC Conservative and a New Democrat.
This is VANCOLOUR

Hey BC, it's time for you guys to pull an Alberta and shut this shit down before it starts
And there you have it, Aaron Gunn will run to replace Lorne Doerkson. Aaron has even advised his federal riding assoc he plans to step down now that the Liberals have a safe majority to run as leader of the BC Cons. nanaimonewsnow.com/2026/10/2…

Watch out BC. We may end up with racist homophobe Gunn as Premier if we go the way polls are hinting. Remember that you may be voting for a gentle & moderate-appearing Doerkson but he isn’t guaranteed to be the leader due to this snap election. You may vote lamb but may get wolf.
Disgusting! Abhorrent behaviour! This is who the BC Conservative Party emboldens and attracts. #NeverVoteConservative

This STUPID referendum was $125,000,000
That’s:
🚑 415 fully equipped ground ambulances
✈️ 14 specialized medevac aircraft
🚒 52 urban pumper fire trucks
🏥 5 to 8 brand-new rural health care centres
Albertans literally got NOTHING of benefit
What a damn waste.

There really needs to be a long list of people who nominate him for The Order of Canada
ALBERTANS, THANK YOU!
Today, I am thankful for the 18,000 #ForeverCanadian volunteers that trusted and supported me for the last 18 months.
I’m also thankful for everyone who voted to keep Canada united.
I’d like to drive the Unity Bus into a sunset, but there may more to do.

Wake up, BC!
Take a good, long look at what's happening in AB and ON with their Con governments and you'll see there's a simple way to make life better for everyone.

Conservative’s Doerkson won’t denounce hate, Islamophobia, homophobia on his team. Eby’s right - it should be foundational, that hate isn’t acceptable.
But Doerkson won’t condemn it - that’s not leadership.

More than 500,000 mail-in ballots still haven't been returned, and the deadline is this Friday, October 9.
If you've already mailed yours in, please rally the vote for Canada by reminding your friends, family, and neighbours to send theirs in too.

If we don’t start seeing some floor-crossing now, the @UCPCaucus is officially a separatist party.

Plague is spreading in Russia.
Moscow is preparing emergency measures following an outbreak in the Irkutsk region. Relevant information is currently being relayed to medical facilities in the capital.
The alarm was raised after a 27-year-old female patient died in the Irkutsk region; two tests had confirmed a plague infection in her case. Consequently, nearly 200 contacts have been placed under medical observation—with some already hospitalized—while doctors work to trace further chains of contact.
Events are taking on increasingly biblical proportions.
Why are there still flights to and from Russia?

.@Alberta_UCP This is wild.
All Albertans must read this.
UCP set up a web of numbered companies in USA with UCP current cabinet ministers as directors. Unpaid US taxes, strange transactions, $7,000,000.00 “administration fees”.
This isn’t normal.

.@AbDanielleSmith Perhaps Albertans may need more clarity on this before they vote?
“To prop up pipeline giant TC Energy, Jason Kenney’s government set up numbered companies in Delaware. Here’s what the companies are doing now.”
