The families of an estimated 10,000 disabled war vets feel a sense of "disgust" and "betrayal" over successive federal governments' alleged mishandling of the money used for disability pensions
This is sickening. The government will spend millions on rehabilitating murderers and pedophiles each year, but won't look after our vets.
How screwed up is that?
"DerbyX" said That and they stole this vets scooter.
Our vet loving CPC in action.
Where exactly in the article that this action was taken on the politcal direction of the conservatives hmmm? Where exactly do you have this apparent;y secret government agenda written by the Conservatives lining out how they will screw vets?
This is even weaker than ususal for you DX. You have and other Liberals have utterly failed to present anything other than the old tired Liberal Tax an spend policies, complain about it, and then your party goes along with every piece of conserative legaslation that has come down lately. And yet you blame the conservatives for this issue.
Speaking as a Veteran i can tell you that when i served during in the Navy at the higpoint of the Liberal years with Jean Chretien pilots weere always worried about their next flight on the helicoptrs since they all knw that most of the helicopters were older than they were. And never knw if they were going to drop out of the sky
And Why
Because the Liberals didnt and dont care about about the militray, and before you say they do. Remember son i was there and have experienced what it is like to serve an administration that actively dislikes you, your proffesion and you duty but the simple fact they for years starved the Canadian military

Thats the Liberal Party
Says the fuckwit moron who doesn't understand that it was the Liberals who brought taxes down, consistently, and the spending they did was that little matter of 100 billion dollars off of the debt.
Along comes your pissy little attitude thinking that somehow Harper was responsible for all this.
BTW, under Harper the income tax rate went up as did total gov't expeditures.
Thats tax & spend for you.
Also BTW, when its military people bitching about the Liberals (even things they have no control of) you guys are all over them but when its your gov't on the line suddenly its "where was that done at the con directive".

Same old BS from you.
On yer bike.
And you still don’t understand how to construct a civil response. Most disappointing but not surprising.
Nor can you explain that if liberals are so right and Conservatives so wrong Liberals wont stand up and be counted with their votes where it matters, in the commons. And for the record Liberals if they were brining taxes down is that the reserves kept getting bigger. Explanation, EI premiums other charges and everything else the Liberals could charge for, they do charge for. Canadians were overtaxed by the Liberals and always have been, and if the Liberals were such the tax cutters you say they were then why did they blatantly lie when they said if elected the would eliminate the GST (that it repeal the law- not replace it with something else like Chretien later said)
Further you were the one who threw out an unsubstantiated accusation that this was because and I quote
Our vet loving CPC in action
And asked you for proof that this was by political explicit directions of the Harper government and im sure you have the documents to back all this up? Which of course you don’t since your ability to actually prove anything does not match your ability to call people fuckwits.
And if military people bitch about the Liberals its because we actually have served. I served both under a conservative government and a liberal government and the level of respect for our commitment to our duty is actually respected to conservatives because at least on some level they understand that there is a level of sacrifice that Liberals at least Liberals like yourself react with such hostility to people like myself, who can easily point to the indifference and outright disrespect for members of the armed forces who dedicate and sometimes give their lives for this country. Conservatives no matter how you may feel on social level( I suspect that your hate towards Cons had affected your judgment) to this day understand that a country like Canada doesn’t go on existing by happy circumstance. Country like Canada require a modern well equipped armed force to preserve their national interest, and if those two words disturb you so much - like many leftists in the west. I would remind you and others that the rest of the world is not so quite naive as the Liberals and NDP types of the world.
The reality is that without conservatives Ultra-Libs and NDP types could not go on spouting a bunch of smoke filled coffee house crap without the ability to defend the right for people such as yourself to make a public ass of themselves.
But really it's allright DX. You're nothing new that someone like myself hasn’t seen before. Someone inherently sociopathic with only your narrow interests at heart without sadly the ability to see anything that resides outside of your limited scope. Which I believe is why your react so violently when someone calls you on your hyperbole and accusations that have no basis in fact.
And you still don’t understand how to construct a civil response. Most disappointing but not surprising.

Considering that the Liberals dropped the EI premium as well as dropping both personal & corporate taxes. They raised the tax bracket levels, eliminated the debt reduction surtax and raised the personal exemption.
Not only that each and every surplus they threw entirely at the debt thereby saving us more money next year.
Keep whinging though.

In 2005 an Ontario Superior Court judge awarded the families $5.2 billion. That decision was successfully appealed by the government in July 2007.
That would be Harper's gov't appealing the decision. Of course when it was the Liberals fighting this battle all blame was heaped on them.

Someday I'll tell you just how well loved the Conservatives are from the medical profession.
Its a laugh that you are the one bitching about hostility becasue all you do is bitch and complain about the Liberals in a hostile manner.
BTW, its us Leftists who made Canada the nation it is today just as much if not more then you guys. Our flag? Who gave us that? Go ask Bootlegga to re-post his piece on which gov't was instrumental in developing an armed forces of our own.
Yet another boring long-winded essay showing your complete ignorance.
"EyeBrock" said I agree with Derby. This is bad shit and the CPC government should get right on this.
Our guys are not disposable. They should be better looked after by Vet Affairs.
I think that dept should be part of DND and not run by wanker civil servants.
Warn a guy first will you. I almost had a heart attack.
Hey!
You know we are pretty close on a lot of issues!
Plus I'm not a tubthumping Tory. If they do something I don't like I won't support them on that issue.
I detest partisan posts!
Well on this issue both the Liberals and Conservatives bear guilt and shame.
Its not limited to just Canada though. In the US there was the issue of the VA hospital deficiencies and recently I read a story about how an appalling number of vets ending up homeless.

This is the first administration where a Canadian forces officer could speak his mind in public without being fired. I have every confidance, and hope, that Hilliar will badger harper, the CPC and the bean counters untill it gets solved.
If it's not resolved, I'll join you in the bitching because it's definately unnacceptable.
However.. Aside from what you nincompoops believe, just because the PMO changes does not shift the entire structure and attitude of the bureaucracy. Harper didn't start by firing all the deadwood lead managers and replacing them with his chosen. That's what would be nessesary to get the results you are expecting.
.. and a decade ago, I didn't even think the libs even knew we had a military.
