The candidate said he has paid to print stickers that will go over the poppy images on his signs, but he believes it’s time to take another look at the 1948 trademark held by the Legion and whether it should be more freely used by veterans. “Putting a sticker on a sign over a poppy is probably going to be one of the easiest battles I’ve ever had to face,” he said, when asked about his feelings in covering up the poppy. “I’m okay, it’s better than being blown up by a suicide bomber.”Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamHarper’s online biography notes that he was an army infantryman with the Canadian Forces beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and did two tours of combat in Afghanistan.
