Huh, it's June 4th. I had no idea.

Anyways, this one seemed to pass without much fanfare... at least from what I saw, or didn't see.

At no point in my career have I ever seen anything actually be done on CAF Day.

Which honestly is great, because who the heck wants to come in to work on a weekend just to "celebrate" one another?

Army and Airforce Day used to be a "BIG" thing eagerly anticipated by locals, at least in Borden up to late 70's. I know its a pain but a great way to meet the neighbors.

It's a big deal every year in North Bay (June 7th this year). They call it Armed Forces Day to be inclusive for the USAF personnel at 22 Wing.

Yesterday was the 79th anniversary of D Day. Nothing was done here - was there a parade somewhere at least?

“Negative, Ghostrider!” That was the PM in France four years ago…



PMO probably ‘suggested’ that Global (and other MSM) use some historical footage to reinforce the seriousness with which the PM takes our place in the world.

He was in Ottawa yesterday for ‘Don’t Answer Period.’
