Is This to Make Up For the Fact That You Were Suing Veterans?

It's called pandering and it's what the Liberals do:

The third Friday in September, in a week’s time, will mark a curious moment in this cultural progress. It will be just the second time Canada observes Military Family Appreciation Day since Parliament unanimously passed a motion in 2019 to “recognize the sacrifices Canadian military families make on a daily basis, the contributions of these families to the fabric of our society, and show appreciation for their ongoing commitment to the safety and security of Canada.”

It is a plucky little holiday that makes up in enthusiasm what it lacks in recognition. In normal times, a day like this might involve barbecues and funfairs. Now, though, it must be conducted online due to the pandemic.

The key to that adaptation is the “home fort,” a wordplay on “home front,” in which children of military families are encouraged to build their most elaborate Forward Operating Base: Living Room out of couch cushions and the odd blanket, post an image online, and tag others to encourage them to do better.

 

What comforting twaddle! Why put money into veteran care at all?


To wit:

At a town hall in Edmonton, Canadian Veteran Brock Blaszczyk – who lost his leg while serving our nation in Afghanistan – asked Justin Trudeau about the Omar Khadr payment, and asked why Trudeau betrayed his promise by forcing Veterans to fight in court for their benefits.

This was the sickening reply from Trudeau:

“Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they’re asking for more than we are able to give right now.”
