It looked very much like this on today’s sunny Remembrance Day morning as four bright yellow Harvard trainers flew across Toronto in honour of Canada’s war dead. This shot is from 2011 but thousands saw today’s fly past, taking a moment from their day to look skyward and say thanks. We saw them over Moore Ave and Bayview Ave. These aircraft are from the Canadian Warplane Heritage at Mount Hope Airport south of Hamilton. Some of them will not have gone far from the time more than 70 years ago when young men left their homes all over Canada and came to the same small airport to learn to fly in a Harvard. In a speech in Hong Kong today, Prme Minister Harper said Canadians should live their lives worthy of the freedom, democracy and justice they enjoy as a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending those values. Harper marked Remembrance Day at the Sai Wan Bay military cemetery where 283 Canadian soldiers are buried on a grassy, tree-fringed slope overlooking the skyscrapers of bustling Hong Kong.
