No, PM Harper was a fan of the War of 1812 and his office pushed for those names. The CRCN at the time was Ron Lloyd who pushed back due to his view that 1812 was a "British" War. That is a silly view IMO, but there is a large cohort in Canada who are of the opinion that everything that happened in the northern part of NA prior to 1867 is not part of our history.
Only if we also get HMCS Hanna, and it's ships crest will just be a photograph of Nickelback
HMCS LBGTQQIP2SAA takes offense at HMS Pansy’s inferences.
This is a real stupid view considering a substantial portion of the population in Canada are the ancestors of families that arrived here well before 1867.
Strike the first off the list. Batoche would 'offend' our Indigenous/Metis Canadians. I assume that we can't use HMCS Ridgeway in its place.....?
Strike Gallipoli. That was a disaster for everybody except the Turks.
Add HMCS Groningen, I’m partial to that one. My daughter goes to university there and my grandfather fought there with the Fort Gary Horse.
Several cousins-in-law there and my grandfather was there too with the Regina Rifles.
I saw this on the side of a house in Groningen; when I was visiting my daughter. I found it moving that these sorts of small commemorations are relatively common in the Netherlands.
