This is just too unbelievable and hysterically funny and disgusting. You hardly need any comment on it; the stupidity just leaps out at you. Disclosure: I'm a Canadian, in case anyone didn't know. The people in this story are SPIES and are our CLOSEST NEIGHBOURS. (That's "neighbour" with a "u", thank you.)
You see, way back in 2004, Canada minted a special quarter to honour our fallen soldiers in the various wars...
Our mint imprinted a small red poppy in the centre of the quarter. If you've ever read or heard the poem, "In Flanders Fields" (written by a Canadian), you'll instantly know why the poppy.
