Thanks for the input, Peter. I haven’t tried My Tho, since I tend to hang out on the North Side. Yeah, maybe we should get together for lunch some time.

Welcome to Edmonton Michael. I am just recently released from the Canadian Forces as an armour officer. Unfortunately, I was injured during training and am now trying to decide where to go from here.

One of the main reasons why I joined was to honour my country. Remembering those who went before us is important, but participation is also very necessary. The soldiers who are already serving and those training to serve need as much support as we can give. My part may be done with the forces, but its something that I’d recommend to anyone.

Michael, in terms of Pho, try “My Tho” on the south side. It’s on 34ave and I think 81st. The owner is Phuc and he was in Vue magazine. If you want, I’m always up for pho.

Thanks for including my article in this great list Michael.

When I was living in Vancouver I always wore a red poppy on my lapel and was unaware of the white/red controversy. I enjoyed reading about it and I think that there is probably room for both.
