Q2B. And why do you say it is important that Veterans' Week be held each year? [VERBATIM]
one day not enough , one day not enough, thinks we need longer - so a week is a better - so that everybody remeber that these gave up their lives
To remember history so we don't repeat history
recognize current members and the work they do
Keeping Canadians informed about national security efforts
Raise money for verterans with the poppy campaign as the government set aside the veterans.
Pray for peace, engage to resolve confilct
Respect for those who are currently serve
If we're going to insist that people go and fight and die, we would be assholes if we didn't recognize and remember them for it
We have to work during so there arne't many activities we can do.
member of the local legion and know a lot of families
Important to the public to learn more about our own country and how things are going in Canada
It is unrealistic for peopl to take part in Remember and day activities if they are working full.So a week leading up to Remeberence day gives them an opportunity to participarte.
they are the people who gave us our freedom
i am a veteran and i have served with the royal canadian region
We owe a debt of responsibility to those who went before us.
They would be the veterans that represent the country. I think there will be battles all the time.
its is the veterans that give us our society that we have
my families name is carved in a war stone
If it were'nt for the veterans we wont be having this survey.
For people to remember what the war was about and how to prevent that from happening again.
i do it for the people who could do it , and for the veteran's who come back for us whit physique-cal hearth as-user
people went to war its important to remember them
young people arent learning all they should in school, new immigrants learning importance of what Canada has done for the country
We have not learned anything from the past and maybe the next generations can have a better way of solving problems.
very familiar with what our Armed Services have done, I'm with a legion.
Understand the sacrifices the veterans made
uncle served in 2nd world war, father in top secret working in 2nd world war, campus, nephew who has afganigan several time, i know the price veterans have paid
Those who made mistakes in the past are going to repeat it
they served the country and gave their family and they deserve to respected and shown diginity throughout their whole lives.
So younger people don't forget what happened
so that people don't forget what they done for us
so other generations know what vets did for our country
si on n'a pas nos soldat en temps on est très mal pris.
remercier ceux qui sont tomber au combat ou on eux de squelle. C'est grace a eux que nous on pas besoin d'aller se battre
remembrance day is very important some people more important than Christmas
Promote learning about Veterans and history.
pour souligner tout ce qui ont fait pour notre pays
pour se soyvenir de c'est qui sont aller au comabt
pour reconnaitre tout ce qu'ils ont fait pour le pays
pour ce rappeler qui sont aller au combat
Permet d'etendre la commemoratina au dela du 11 novembre
People remember what they died and fought for. Free the matters and still must be defended by all of us.
parce que se genes au comabuts pour nous et il faux les honores
parce que il sont batus et defedus notre pays
parce que bnaoucp de monde qui vienne nous aide

mon beaupere ils a participet la gerre 3943
Mes parents m'amenaient voir la tombe du soldat inconnu.
make bigger impression on younger people
ils ont protéter notre liberté et démocratie et pour se commémorer de la mort au combat de millers de soldats
il y a qui ont volontairement risquer leur vie pour leurs pays
if you dont remember the ones who died for your freedom, theyre the men and women that fought or your country
if we dont learn from past we will repeat it
If we don't remember it will happen again.
i think everyone should have knowledge about it
i dont think it cost much money or time so i am happy to do it
future generations will be learning less and less because those people are not living any longer
dont think one day is enough anymore and know the range of what armed forces do
connected canadians values and tradition
Cest quand un meme a quoi sa se rapporte dun moment importa (guerre mondiale par example)
Because we need someone to protect us in this crazy world.
Because they sacrificed to protect our freedom.
because they died for the freedoom so we have to remeber
because of the work they do, my family are army people
because of the sacrifice and effort to help the country
because of the commitment that the service man made during the time of conflict they were serving their country we have to educate people
Because I am from Ukraine and I understand what they are going through.
because alot of them lost their lives to grant freedom for us todauy

Q2C. And why do you say it is not important that Veterans' Week be held each year? [VERBATIM]
The amount of problems that veterans.The money can go to education,health and houseinh
Put that money into something to practically help veterans, such as housing and healthcare.
parce que il ya deja les jour de souvenir
la guerre n'est pas quelque chose de glorifier.
if they did the right thing then they can praise them, but no they're underfunded and vets are homeless so why do we pretend that they care
C'est un metier et c'est pour cela je ne crois pas c'est necessaire parcequ'il donne leur contribution.
Because there are bigger issues for Canadians.

Q2D. And why do you say it is neither important nor unimportant that Veterans' Week be held each year? [VERBATIM]
pacifist i struggle with the whole celebration aspect of it.
we need another we to recognise the service of veterans
parce que je ne pas d'interet pour le militaire
oui ils est de importen de ces reppelle de huiltoire mais pas qre ca
moi je jui cortre loa gerre mais ils sont qand meme la gerre l;a protion des gent
les personnes qui sont mort c'est important au defense de notre pays mais en realite ca ne change pas grand chose dans la vie des gens
lack of participation because people are working
je me sens aucune affliation et j'ai pas la fibre patriotique pour le Canada.
Je connait pas les semaine sur ses chose la
ilfaut pas les oublier maisn ce nest pas non plus tres important
Feel that more should be done for veterans on a personal level
Ci jaurais un nombre de ma famille qui son mort sa allais etre plus important
Ca sert a rien de faire ca a seulement un quart des metiers
C'est un emploi qui on choisit donc bien bon mais ceux qui ne travaille pas dans les militaire -tout le monde devrait etre reconnu
Agrees that the goverenment wants to have it. That's okay for me
