A few months back some parliamentary drone decided it would be good and fitting to stage a state funeral for Canada's last WWI veteran, at least when he died.
Everybody jumped on the gun carriage and, before you knew it, the Commons passed the requisite motion unanimously.
Actually there were three dissents - or there would have been if anybody had taken the time to consult the three surviving candidates as to whether they wanted to go out with all the grandeur and flourish, pomp and ceremony. Turns out they're not interested, not one of them.
Now, apparently, Veterans Affairs is looking at other options but doesn't want to say just what those might be. Duh!
