Certainly, I once thought it was then-prime minister Paul Martin’s decision in 2005 to eliminate disability pensions in favour of meagre lump sum payments.  A policy since reversed after much public complaint.

Or maybe Stephen Harper’s choice to continue disallowing disability pensions while closing down Veteran Affairs offices.  Perhaps!

Well, there are also Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, the self-styled champions of publicly-funded health care, deciding last year to privatize veteran rehabilitation services to a company owned by Loblaw Companies Ltd.

Already, the Liberal’s veteran health-care privatization experiment is becoming the service delivery disaster that all who truly cared predicted it would be.

Recently, the Justin Trudeau Liberals chose to go after the one thing that, I’m sure, all veterans hold more precious than any assessed level of disability pension, health care, vocational or rehabilitation services.

That is their Charter Rights as Canadians.  Specifically, their right to retain their own legal counsel when appealing their cases before Veteran Affairs.

Yes, you heard me right, it appears that Trudeau and Veteran Affairs Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor think those who were willing to fight for our freedoms should be denied the corresponding freedom, as private citizens, to hire their own lawyer when dealing with the appeals process at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

So basically vetrans who want to appeal a gov't ruling regarding their vetran's benefits WILL NOT be allowed legal council.

SO trudeau sells off their rehabilitation to a company that LITERALLY SELLS PACKAGED MEAT  (the symbolism speaks for itself) and now denies them legal council.

To the people who fought for our rights and freedoms.

If ANY military people vote liberal i will have lost all hope for humanity.

Pixie-Dust strikes again.

The endless failures of this twit are staggering.

As i recall the last time a group was denied the right to legal representation in pursuit of their rights it was the first nations regarding land claims back in the 50's - 70's  ish.   Seems like we decided that was a bad idea at some point.  Apperently we don't think quite as highly of our vets.
