Good
We need to take care of our veterans more than the illegals within the country.
These proud men that served our country deserve the compensation and it's shameful they couldn't even count on their own government, good for them❤❤
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. We need to take our financial life serious….. I recommend stock market investment and digital currencies
Enter the bureaucrats…
Reminds me of the movie Shane, were.everyone thinks that Shane Veterans) is their saviour but after he's done his job everyone (the government) distances themselves from Shane because they want to distance themselves from the violent way (War) that he saved the town. This schizophrenic approach is typical of Liberals.
I have PTSD and I am living in poverty on CPP disability. $900 per month. Do better, Canada.
Make payments to Veterans without needing them to fight for it. Shame.
Best wishes
