Remembrance Day: veteran refused pub entry over poppy

Original: remembrance day

A Canadian veteran says he was barred from entering a Wetherspoons pub in the UK because his poppy was deemed 'too political', drawing criticism ahead of Remembrance Day. Separately, the first poppy of this year's Poppy Campaign in British Columbia was presented to the province's lieutenant governor, marking the start of annual remembrance activities across Canada.

Why now: Remembrance Day is approaching and the reported poppy incident sparked outrage.
