Port-a-potties for our Vets

I haven't thought about writing anything in a really long time. In honour of the remaining Veterans who fought for our freedom overseas, I thought that I would address this to our illustrious government.

Shame on you, you cheap bastards!

If you saw the news about the Remembrance Day celebrations in Ottawa on the news last week, you'll know what I'm on about. If not, here's the scoop on how my taxpayers dollars were not spent.

Ottawa generously paid for vets to take ViaRail to Ottawa to attend the Remembrance Day Celebrations. After the celebration, they were pretty much abandoned and told that their accommodations would be a currently unused military barracks with cots, no heat and port-a-potties. Apparently Ottawa thought it would be tres chic to go retro.

The Vets, who are all over 70, declined Ottawa's offer of the barracks, so were told that they could stay where they liked on their own dime. I can't think of anything more insulting and ungrateful. I'm sure that they could have borrowed from the Governor General's generous budget to at least cover hotel expenses for the Vets.

Despicable!
