So I am not surprised that Veterans are being treated the same.<br />Yvan FullumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501616029918551991.post-70986230196975218522012-06-25T11:21:09.033-02:302012-06-25T11:21:09.033-02:30I can't say I am surprised. This story seems ...I can't say I am surprised. This story seems eerily similar to the plight of the survivors of the 1974 grenade explosion that killed 6 cadets and injured over 50 others at CFB Valcartier. The situation (and two books written on the subject) was sent to the Prime Minister, who passed the information on the subject to Minister Peter MacKay. The response said "the minister will appreciate being made aware of your concerns." That was in April. We don't expect to hear anything more from them. It is unfortunate that the ministers of Defence and Veterans' Affairs are unable to help. Mahatma Ghandi said, "A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable." I wonder how history will characterize this treatment of our veterans, and the cadets who are still suffering after almost forty years? <br />Thanks for the article.<br />Gerry FostatyGerry Fostatyhttp://www.gerryfostaty.comnoreply@blogger.com
