Mind you, there isn’t anything the Liberals have done that hasn’t been embarrassing for the past 10 years. If they want to save money that badly, maybe they should start with their “green initiatives” that have accomplished nothing with no accountability as to where all that money has gone.
Our veterans have been short-changed for decades, and it is the least we can do to continue to appropriately honour their service and sacrifice.
Perhaps it’s time to eliminate the governor general’s position as that’s a total waste of our tax dollars, and former GGs can even get us to pay expenses up to $206,000 per year for the rest of their lives. Their salaries and lifetime expense accounts would go a long way to honour our vets.

I’m all honked up that Tamara Lich only got a mischief charge and a few months of house arrest. Anyone who stood up to Dustbin Trudeau is a hero in my books.
Terry Fox will soon be on the five-dollar bill, “The Fox Fiver.” I think Tamara should be on the 10-dollar bill, “The Tamara Ten,” and you may as well put Chris Barber on the “Barber Buck.”
