If the account is not true, there have been several years to disprove it: although new to me, the link shows that it was first published in a Canadian veteran's magazine in circa 2005. But if it's nonetheless a total confabulation, that will certainly emerge shortly because the story is being widely circulated here in Canada. I'll let you know!

I'm from, in and never left Canada and it's the first I have heard of it. I also doubt that the Bank of Canada would get it wrong.

So the fact that they don't mention the biography of the veteran disproves the story? Maybe, but perhaps not. Anyway, got to go, back next week.

True story or not, it is a good reminder of the sacrifices made by veterans, no matter what country they fought for or war they fought in.

With Remembrance Day/Veterans Day/Armistice Day upcoming there are always some people who need to be reminded of that.
