Minister of Veteran Affairs condemns Whole Foods’ ban on poppies

Minister of Veteran Affairs Lawrence MacAulay on Friday condemned Whole Foods’ move to ban its Canadian workers from wearing poppies, which is a symbol of remembrance of fallen soldiers, saying “this is absolutely unacceptable.” Conservative MP of Carleton, Pierre Poilievre, has called on the federal government to join Canadians in boycotting American-owned Whole Foods after their poppy ban.
