Ahead of Remembrance Day, the Conservatives have criticized the military’s policy prohibiting chaplains from reciting a prayer at official public functions.

“Canadians should be free to practise their faith alongside fellow Canadians as we commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifices for our freedoms,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on social media platform X on Nov. 8.
