In 2019 Joshua Dyer (aged 14) was tasked at school to write a poem for Remembrance Day. An hour later (without any help) he produced this..


ONE THOUSAND MEN ARE WALKING

One thousand men are walking
Walking side by side
Singing songs from home
The spirit as their guide
They walk toward the light,
they walk towards the sun
they smoke and laugh and smile together
no foes to outrun.
These men live on forever
in the hearts of those they saved
a nation truly grateful
for the path of peace they paved.
They march as friends and comrades
but they do not march for war
step closer to salvation
a tranquil steady corps
the meadows lit with golden beams
a beacon for the brave
the emerald grass untrampled
a reward for what they gave.
They dream of those they left behind
and know they dream of them
forever in those poppy fields
there walks one thousand men

Very nice.

Ek should hire him as our new blogger.

No, it would be glorious if the Leafs lose, even more glorious if they are embarrassed on national TV.

It would also be absolutely phenomenal if the Oilers lose and are embarrassed on national TV.

It would be the best for West Coast hockey fans.

Now I'm off the the local cenotaph to honor our fallen heroes.

Very true. If people hadn’t forgot or at least turned into brain-dead sloth’s there’s no way this country would have children/grandchildren of Nazi’s in high ranking positions of power.

STFU.

Religion and conspiracy, any chance you’re a trump supporter too for the old trifecta?

Tell us, what did your family sacrifice for this country 70-110 years ago?

You think Canucks are going to hit 400 goals?

- VANTEL

That's not what a value bet means...plus you could pick a smaller overachieving number for a value bet.

In poker when you bet pot odds it doesn't mean you think the river card is a sure thing.

That's not what a value bet means...

I did a value bet already. I put 15 on Canucks to win the cup . Pays over 800.

I also put 10 on Vegas. Pays 160.

Nazi sympathizer are you?

Take this crap elsewhere.

"It just felt entirely self-serving... Benning is one of the nicest guys...why do you feel the need to sh1t on him all these years later?..the actual end result was the right one" #Canucks

The leafs must have got the heads up from the officials , they're putting Klingberg back in tonight for all the pp they'll be gifted ..

Pretty sure Ceasar thought Brutus was one nicest guys until the dagger slipped in ..JB and Weisbrod made a backstabbing move ,

He’s been a nightmare defending from what I’ve read 😆

Nice and dumb, exactly what you want your GM to be

I still say hiring a first time Pres, GM an coach, what can go wrong.

After one of the worst decades we still have one of the best cores this team has ever had.

I always expected a lot of years of suffering after 2011 but I did not expect all the drama to go along with it.

Leylah Fernandez is money. Incredible player.

Canada in the world finals.

It's good to see all the freedoms fought for by all of our ancestors are being put to good use in here on this day.

If true, you'll never be able to visit Richmond BC.
