Apprpriate dress for ceremonial occasion

[Farmer Jones]

We are talking about whether the kilt is appropiate to represent Canada, not the tartan. I have no quams anybody wearing a kilt, in whaterver tartan to any type of ceremony where they are representing themself or an organisation. However when is representing ones country in an event, in this case, one that is remembered world wide I cannot understand the rationale behind wearing the national dress (the Kilt) of another country

You did momentarily have me questioning something I have seen done for many years, so I phoned the Legion headquarters and asked. You have to remember, this is Canada, not Australia. Your ways may not be our ways. The kilt may have started as a Scottish national dress, and been exported by the diaspora, but it is not longer just a Scottish national dress, as it has been adopted as a method of showing honour in many other places.
