How is no care better than whatever they can provide?
I can't remember who but, some political pundit put it in perspective when he said. The Liberals campaign as Liberals but, rule as Conservatives.
So, given this latest example of another broken promise towards those he promised to help, the pundits analogy was 100% accurate.

That was certainly true of Chretien/Martin and was said often of them.
Don Sorochan, the lawyer representing the veterans, said it would be the height of hypocrisy if the Liberal government now rejects those principles in court.
But government lawyers will do exactly that, according to their memorandum, arguing that the resolution was largely and does not oblige the government to provide pensions to injured veterans.
Symbolic? Really?
They may not have a legal obligation to Veterans like they claim but, they sure as fuck have a one and they should be held accountable for the lies they used to bilk the same people they`re now trying to throw by the side of the road.
I guess we shouldn`t be surprised that the promises were broken so quickly though.
That awesome moment - When someone is lying and you know the truth.jpg

If the Liberals support this, it'll be just as disgusting as when Harper's government supported this crap. It'll be even worse in my opinion as the current Minister of Veteran's Affairs is disabled himself!
Canada certainly does have an obligation to support anyone who is injured/disaled/killed in service to our country.

Absolutely.
Why this would even be questioned is beyond me.
Our Government always seems to be able to come up with money to give aid to other countries, which is very nice and noble, yet appears to hesitate to assist those who have given so much of themselves both physically and mentally to serve their country in conflicts that are not of our doing? It doesn't make any sense.
