Well that’s your opinion, and definitely not one I share.

So you die on battlefield and become hero.
Survive, come home, and become marginalized. Something wrong with that.

I personally think you are mixing the lines of defending democracy with how government policy deals with veterans.

Even at my age today I would defend my country, my family, your family, against any type of radicalism that threatens our way of life, if my country asked me to step up.

We could spend 30 pages on this subject, and definitely something I have no interest in doing.

Hey bloated, sorry I need to apologize, re-reading my post comes across as heavy handed. This forum is for freedom of opinion and expression, I certainly didn’t mean to shut down the discussion.

My comments where my opinion only, but I grew up on military bases across Canada, my father was a Regimental Sargent Major and that was my life.

I certainly encourage anyone to continue the discussion with you, I will watch from the sidelines.

I came across this comment after reading an article about the Trump receiving record breaking political donations...

“If you think of the Internet as an ATM machine, impeachment is the PIN code”

We are in a very cynical time right now.

Do not apologize. I made the comment to drive conversation about the horrors of war. It was controversial for a purpose.

After reading your response I realized that this forum is not a place to have that sort of discussion. Too personal. I’m more than cool to keep things casual and light hearted.

So who is exited that western Canada, BC / AB / Sask, are ready to separate? Which country would you rather live in, the Liberal east or the Socialist/Conservative west?

It probably depends how much money you have? I wouldn't be saying the coastal part of BC isn't liberal, that's just plain old wrong.

I've actually lived and had health cards and driver's licences in four provinces. They all have their good and their bad.

Imagine how excited the rest of Canada is to charge royalties on any oil coming across their borders .

Oil only flows south, 96% of it

I don’t imagine the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be thrilled with that lol.

You can’t seriously support the Christian Reform Alliance Party (CRAP), thought you had daughters that you want to be independent and not told what happens to their bodies.
So you are the barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen believer...

lol. Somewhere along the line conservatives switched from fiscal conservatism to cultural conservatism and it’s been downhill ever since.
