Good news for Canadian Veterans/Survivors.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/vet...ment-1.7130245
Kudos for the representatives that noted this "Accounting Error" by VAC (Veterans Affairs Canada) for many years, and initiated this lawsuit against the government.
Our Veterans have been ignored for far too many years...

"Almost 8 years" what a coincidence.

“More than 272,000 veterans were short-changed on pension and disability payments for almost eight years“
When things like this happen I always wonder why it wasn’t an overpayment.
Give them their money right now.

How many of those veterans have died and had their estates closed during the time frame since 2002, my Dad being one of those that passed away in 2012, so 10 years of this benefit shortage ends up where ??? and one of them being my FIL.
The Turd telling veterans that there is simply no more money for them, while he sends it to some S-hole of a country for equality and women's rights.

This government is rotten to the core. Any leader with a set would have punted Veteran Affairs Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor without delay.

Veterans have always been treated as a disposable commodity, one has to wonder why they bother ?

We have and will continue as some choose this lifestyle because we believe in our country and its citizens.
Some may say why but I say look around.
I know this country is far from perfect but she ain’t all that bad too.

My family had a strong military history and my generation was told not to follow in their footsteps.

This must be the only outfit that does not have a union .
Can you imagine how fast things would get fixed if they would go on strike .

Quote from Huntinstuff for the Wokey do nothing limp wrists which i thought nails whats happening to a once great country now spiralling into the dump...
Next Remembrance Day, just stay home and play with your Chinese made garbage. Dont even bother wearing a poppy because those who the poppy represents think you're a puss....and they're right.
The scum from elsewhere are here. No one stopped them. They took Canada without firing a round.
And they voted the Liberals in and will continue to do so. And you will lose, and your kids will lose and your grandkids will be slaves.

Well I got a lot of skin in this game trust me.
Can go on and write many a page on serving this country and what toll it has taken.
Physically, mentally etc.
Stay the course and engage with a positive frame of mind even when hard to and it will be.
To anyone reading this dont let this crap be a hinderance to enlist and serve your country if that’s your calling.
Trust me we had a blast just a little banged up after the fact.
