The Veteran on the Canadian $10 Bill

[Lallans]

I have 'feelers' out to prove or disprove the veteran's biography. It seems a pointless thing to have faked, but one never knows these days.

Anyway, now that I've been studying our $10 bill in detail, I'm very unhappy with the apparent intended message. The largest figure in the design is the peacekeeper woman (aka The Human Target) and the elderly veteran and the children appear to be gazing worshipfully at her rather than at the Canadian War Memorial, as might be supposed at first glance. Moreover, the arch of the Memorial is empty of the soldiers that are in real life depicted spilling through it, and there is no Victory figure on top.

Especially considering the government at the time and the general leftward turn of the day in Canuckistan, the message I'm picking up is that the unarmed woman with the binocs is the only worthy object of worship, and that message is intensified by the empty arch et al. If I'm right, the whole melange is a total disrespect to our veterans and I can only say, ahem, Gadzooks that was a bunch of wazoos in power at that time.
