One can perhaps understand the relative neglect that Veterans Affairs historically showed to those due their care. WWII produced an enormous strain on the service that the country was not in good position to afford. (Far more Canadians were killed or physically injured in WWII than are active members of the Canadian Armed Forces today.) 

But that was then and this is 2017. The neglect that the Government of Canada shows towards veterans is unnecessary and unconscionable. If we can afford to send our soldiers into optional wars like Afghanistan, we can afford to take care of them when they return.
