We are about a month away from Rememberance Day. When we watch the ceremonies from the National Cenotaph in Ottawa these bastards will be all standing in the limelight wearing medals that they never earned. They will pay lip service to the sacrifices made by our veterans, and then they will go back to trying to screw these same veterans out of the pensions and benefits that they so richly deserve.
I watched our Governor General read the throne speech the other day. She was wearing about a half dozen military medals. Maybe she bought them in a pawn shop but I doubt like hell that she earned them on the battlefield. She takes herself and her friends on junkets around the world at our expense , while second world war veterans are often living in poverty.
If serving members of our forces survive in spite of the crap that they are given for equipment, this is what they have to look forward to.
On the other hand members of parliament are given a fat pension after only six years of service. When you grease your own wheels you can take care of #1.
