Couple of days ago I was out delivering poppies for the British Legion.

Cmon boys, they don't weigh that much.

They don't get their local cadets to do it? That's what my hometown does every year, only non-cadet volunteers were the Legion members and they drove around to check on us and stuck around to deal with the money.

I think it's more a case of dwindling membership in the Royal Canadian Legion, as more of the ex-military members die off their numbers aren't being made up by the new generation, either military or the general public.
