Disabled Vets Seeking to Sue Federal Government
Today I will veer in a new direction. I don't believe that I have yet to compose a post in which I actually agree with the people complaining about our government. In this case, I do.
This is not the first time where the mention of war veterans has entered the picture. I'm all for supporting the people who fight for our country as well as the freedom of others. These men and women often go beyond the call of duty and are true patriots in my book. To enter a profession where active duty in a war zone is nearly a guarantee you get my stamp of approval.
While the government certainly isn't to blame for 98% of the problems Canadians tends to blame it for, in this case, to deduct monetary awards from injured veterans is inappropriate and downright mean. These are the people who should be most compensated by our government.
If money is the issue here, surely there are other areas where costs could be cut in order to provide for our military men and women. Take a look at a few of our previous posts here, there are plenty of ideas rolling around - the main one would be regarding immigration. Perhaps stricter guidelines could be laid down regarding government assistance when it comes to immigrants. That's sure to be a money-saver right there. Stop supporting homeless people who refuse to find legitimate work. Send convicts out to work rather than offering cushy lives in prison (this not only provides free labour, but saves the cash from going into the correctional system). Take the extra dough and give it to the people who have been an asset to this country.
Those who are living here and are living off the government can just SYPH. Anyone who is capable, but not willing to be an asset to our fair nation should not be compensated by it in any way. This is a slap in the face to those of us who pay honest taxes and expect that our hard earned dollars go to the good of our country and its hard-working citizens.

Absolutely, totally, and completely agree!
