You should hit Herbie over the head with this, he say's spending tax dollars on private airports for private golf courses in another country is just fine.

Now you're trying to equate airports they didn't fund with medical expenses. Hit yourself over the head, your brain may get unstuck.

Yes it was refused but the current gov was favorable. We can all (well some of us) see how this is okay with the Libs but the veterans......oh noes we have no money.

Actually in fairness to Al Jolson Jr. in Ottawa it isn't just the Liberals. If you remember Harper actually came out and said that the Gov't had no legal obligation to take care of veterans after they left the service injured or not.

What he and his successor have failed to mention is that they may not have a legal obligation but they sure as hell have a moral one.

It’s unacceptable that they gouge the military by setting those exorbitant fees, which are paid by all Canadian taxpayers. They’re completely unjustified. They should not be allowed to turn military or any other Canadian away.

I have mentioned before that there are two fee schedules in Ontario. I ran into it when I had to pay for a test. There is and always has been two fees set. If the federal government doesn’t like it they should talk to the provincial governments not just decide they aren’t paying it. They certainly shouldn’t be having their bun fight with the lives of our serving military personnel. It’s really unacceptable.

No I don’t believe the provincial governments have anything to do with it. The province only negotiates the fees for people paid for by the province, it doesn’t negotiate anything for fees paid by other jurisdictions. The feds and other provinces aren’t under any obligation to just pay whatever fee doctors unilaterally dictate.

And yet that is how the system works...
