Well?

l think many veteran voters find it easy to forgive Trudeau for speaking with a forked tongue if they are already under the old Pension pay plan. Veterans injured after 06 really thought the Liberals were going to bring back the Pension for Life not the Pennies for life that it turned out to be. I can’t see any injured vet voting for him this time round, as the old saying goes “ fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...shame on me.”

This is becoming...interesting!!!

I like this.....diversity is good......opinions are good ....positive or negative can help! There are many groups out there and as most know....they come with drama, trolls, nice people, some with a big chip on their shoulder.....I don't think that will ever change.....it is human nature.

Election is not far away and for me it is always the same.....who does one vote for when they all lie/exaggerate/fake promises etc., to get elected......prove me wrong! I personally do not vote for the party....I vote for the person I would like to see run this country. Jack Layton was an NDP.....and I will say with much confidence that should he have been on this earth longer, he would have been the PM. The flip-flopping from Conservatives to Liberals ....back and forth back and forth is a joke to me. As Canadians we haven't had much success with either of them and it appears we never learn from history. Yes I suppose things could be worse but they all spend our money like it is theirs and the money is endless. They all help their friends, they all get rid of the good people who speak out, they all help other countries before helping Canadians first! BUT! if we all go rogue come election time, that will not serve anything either. As a community beit a veteran community or otherwise we need to come together as a collective....strength in numbers! The last election with the ABC campaign....made it clear to many that the veteran community can surely sway the vote should we desire it. Trudeau has shown his true colours many times and not just with the SNC-Lavalin scandal. That to me is inexcusable and he does not deserve a 2nd chance......a leader is not expected to be perfect, but they are expected to represent CDN's with respect and our best interest. He has his agenda...hire his friends, fire the good people, rub elbows with billionaires, lie to Cdn's, look like an idiot in India, give our money away, forget about the homeless, give veterans crumbs, forget about the seniors and hungry children, demand a nanny....one for each of his children.....pay his wife crazy money for her so-called volunteer work lmao etc., etc., etc.

I am truly interested in hearing others opinion/views about our politicians.....we need to come together for the best interest of all Canadians. I do have an opinion.....but it can be changed.

As entertaining (and sad) Wildthing can be this is the 3rd or 4th time he has done his "troll" act.

He's the only one with a 7 day posting ban (someone needs to explain that rule to me), but he still posted anyway?!?

You know what happens to a troll who doesn't get a response? They leave! But they still come back so I fully expect to read another "highly educational" post by Wildthing before the election is over.

So when that happens please just don't respond to his comments it only encourages him to double down on trolling CSAT.

There are many levels of veterans and non veteran's on csat, as are there many generations and many compensation packages.
There are the educated.
The intelligent.
Those with common sense.
There are also the manipulators.
But the one certain thing is, with age comes wisdom!
We are going to clash have differences, that's because we have lived and been through different things in different times under different rules of engagement, remember that !!!

Lad , yes the sisip case it's all clear now how a particular group got shafted, your sharp of tounge but you not as sharp as you think you are, the ignorance and direction shines boldly to some of us!

Anything that can be taken away with the stroke of a pen and doesn't reguire a refferendum is not a right !
The De facto government does not work for the people,
De facto is infact elitest protectionism, some governments are good to the people some rule the people the only democracy we have is not deciding who will work for the people but who will rule us in the most just manner!!!

We still have our rights...

From time to time, we may need to fight to protect our rights and freedoms in a court of law but that is only when our government/society infringes upon those rights. I love our country!

However, I am not impressed by the arseholes who run it...

Cheers,

By the bay everthing is a privilege not a right thats the country we now live in!!!

Well boys and girls it's been fun but, i don't think i really want to participate in this years election, the last one was such a disaster don't you agree?
Who do you pick anyway not the three socialist parties,
So that only leaves PC and PPC and what's the odds either one of them would re write the constitution and give power to the people not the terrorists or criminals,
And to make being a Canadian citizen a privilege not a right so terrorists are deported instead compensated is just absurd right? We all like the UN controlling immigration and having control of our privilege to bear arms like trudeau wants. I was thinking PC because they have the best chance and might be willing to make changes because mass immigration will certainly not guarantee them another government. Who knows what the best option is anyway i will decide that on my own as you all should. Good luck.

As far as I'm concerned, this forum is a privilege not a right.

At any given time, Bumpsy could gives us all the middle finger salute and shut down CSAT, then where would we be? In the dark, with our finger up our noses. We can stand to be alittle nicer to one another and show some appreciation to those members who work long hours away from their family/friends just to help answer our questions that we post on here. Bigrex works his arse off to make sure we all have the information that we need and he receives the most criticism here. Bigrex can only do so much until Bumpsy gives him more power to help maintain this site.

We need to stop chasing away our members. Soon, it will only be a handful of members left.  So if you need to vent and rage on....then do it without insulting each other....if you have a problem with someone in the forum, discuss it in a private message. I have had some nasty trolls send me awful and hateful comments in private messaging and I'm still here.

The majority of veterans/veteran's spouses here, I hold in high esteem and I think your all incredible awesome people.

Cheers,

Gotta love the vet community. This is the only forum I have contact with other veterans due to “little men syndrome”. I quit all the fb groups etc because it’s one of the most toxic environments out there. I chime in every now and then to help where I can, or to get help. This is one of the few places that can still happen. What happened to sorting shit out in the low ground. That might make people a tad nicer, at least one could hope.

Or get the poison out of they're system when csat has become a dictatorship filled with fairy dust and trolls.
Constant whiners hollering for people to be booted out
Or post to be deleted, all that does is create anger.
Csat went to hell just like this country did over the past four years!!!
I know what im fighting now and im going to reveal it in time and then you will know what your fighting also, because our biggest question everyday is "WHY"

Wildthing, if I can address your response to my post with my sincere respect and without any malice on my part ~ I remember you as well on Csat from the Sisip LTD law suit time frame and I wonder why you are compelled to continue to interact in this forum, if you feel so strongly against Csat, members and moderators.
Csat can not get the poison out of any of us ~ that isn't the role of Csat nor could any of us expect that from any forum or it's members.

As far as Bumpsy, and where he lives or why, I really don't give a rat's arse. That's his business. But living in the US, would cost him possible benefits, because getting a PA pension, doesn't exclude him from getting other the benefits that were introduced as part of the NVC.

And every level of government has some sort of corruption, because the power of holding an elected office, and being able to make the laws and policies, that benefits them directly or indirectly, often attracts those who are prone to being corrupt. Most times the benefit is financial in nature, but it could also be to benefit their religious or personal beliefs.

not to add fuel to the fire, but if you live anywhere but Canada , VAC will kill your VIP benefits. As if a veteran with no legs wouldn’t need a snow removal service in Alaska.
