Why has it come to this for our veterans and active forces?

Like the vast majority of Canadians I am proud and thankful for the honour, loyalty and bravery of our armed forces in the performance of their duty to Canada.

So why is this Conservative government abandoning them?

The tax dollars that support the armed forces and provide for their pensions and the care for those who paid the price for our liberty does not belong to the government..... it is ours.

It is we who say thank you to these brave men for protecting our families so why is this government forcing them to beg?

Veterans plan silent protests of government policies

When the clock strikes 11 a.m on Remembrance Day in Chilliwack, B.C., retired Air Force captain Claude Latulippe will be at the local cenotaph paying homage to former comrades and to the many other Canadians who gave their lives for their country.

But, when it is time for Mark Strahl, the local Conservative MP, to lay a wreath, Mr. Latulippe and other veterans will face away.

And, as the veterans protest in BC the Harper regime is shutting down veterans affairs office in various communities in Canada.

Disrespecting our warriors both past and present

 

Your Conservative government in action
