(Editor's Note: The following is an Open Letter to David MacKenzie, Member of Parliament for Oxford and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.)
Mr Harper, Mr MacKenzie:
I am totally appalled by your treatment of our Veterans. Even I did not believe our government could sink so low. You recently gave millions of our tax dollars to foreign countries while our Veterans, who have been used and abused by our country to attack other countries and have been forced see horrific actions around the world, are now abandoned by the very government that used them in the first place. And yet I read this morning that millions of dollars are being used for Ministers offices around Canada. This while the offices that are supposed to help our Veterans are being shut down.
You make me ashamed to be a Canadian. That our government could abandon those in need is an indication that the people of Canada are all cannon fodder to be used and abused as long as they can pay taxes but after that they are to be tossed aside.
Shame on you and your government.
Rebecca Gingrich, Princeton, ON.
