Acadie-Annapolis MP Chris d’Entremont faced boos during a Remembrance Day ceremony in Annapolis Royal on November 11. This incident occurred just a week after he switched from the Conservative Party to join the Liberal caucus in the House of Commons.

D’Entremont reported that he was booed by some attendees before the ceremony while he was in the restroom at the Royal Canadian Legion Port Royal Branch 21. He expressed surprise that the heckling continued during the solemn event. "But they did," he said. "I just sort of under my breath said, ‘Not the place for it.’ This is a solemn event."

Angela Amero, president of Branch 21, condemned the behavior in a statement released on November 12. She noted that at least three individuals booed d’Entremont while he was laying a wreath, an act she deemed unacceptable. "To those that booed Christopher d’Entremont at the service, we say shame on you," Amero stated. "You have ruined the day that we remember our fathers, sons, daughters, and grandparents that paid the ultimate sacrifice for the very thing that you seemed entitled to … the right to give your opinion."

Amero emphasized that there is a time and place for political disagreements, asserting, "A Remembrance Day service is not one of these times or places. You not only disrespected the veterans in the building, the serving military members and the general public, but you disrespected the sacred service of remembrance that we were trying to accomplish."

D’Entremont expressed disappointment over the incident, stating, "It makes me feel bad that I was there and sort of drew that in (to the service) in front of the legion members." He explained that he left the Conservative caucus due to ongoing negativity, saying, "I know this is not a popular move. I did it for the right reasons."

He added that while there are appropriate ways for constituents to voice their opinions, booing during a solemn ceremony is not acceptable. D’Entremont noted that no one who booed him approached him afterward to discuss his decision.

Despite the backlash, he reported receiving significant support from others in the community. D’Entremont stated that he has no regrets about his decision to switch parties, asserting, "It just makes my resolve even stronger." He indicated that most of the negative comments he has received come from individuals aligned with the party he left.
