Today is Remembrance Day. Take two minutes at 11:00 am to commemorate the sacrifices of our Veterans and current members of our armed forces. Far too many of our fellow Canadians have fought and died for us to ever forget their sacrifices. The last line of our national anthem reads “O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.” Our Veterans and current armed forces have honoured that line by their actions. You can honour the Veterans by attending your local Remembrance Day ceremony and wearing a poppy in your lapel. If you are unable to attend, take two minutes out of your day to stand in silence and reflect on the sacrifices they made for you.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.


— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)

War School - Opting for a short based around war + peace, Ben Newman came up with one of the most popular entries, gaining praise across the board by re-creating a military training camp for child soldiers in a British school. It was described by Riz Ahmed as a great idea, simple, communicating a direct message. The teacher at the beginning is played by Kate Ashfield from Shaun of the Dead.

Amazing video, insightful information, but a very unsettling message. A must watch.

H2Oil follows a voyage of discovery, heartbreak and politicization in the stories of those attempting to defend water in Alberta against tar sands expansion. Unlikely alliances are built and lives are changed as they come up against the largest industrial project in human history.
