No support from the Government of
Canada in added help for veterans and
veterans’ widows. An election promise
by Mr. Harper has never been kept.
Harper promised to give back the Veterans
Independent Program (V.I.P.).
Broken promises bring broken trust and
disgrace to our veterans and veterans’
widows.
Veterans and veterans’ widows are
most important. The ageing population
people who need extra V.I.P. benefits
today are great.
There is one veteran’s widow willing
to fight for what is rightfully theirs and
the battling lady is Mrs. Joyce Carter
from Sampsonville, Cape Breton. Mrs.
Carter has and still is putting in numerous
hours, days, weeks, months and
years of hard dedicated work, writing
letters to the editors to be read in newspapers
across Canada and all government
sources and including Mr. Harper,
also Mrs. Carter appeared on television
discussing the V.I.P. issue.
As it stands today, Harper leaves the
veterans and veterans’ widows in need
of extra assistance waiting while he
( Harper) stands alone with the iron-fist
attitude to the issue at hand.
These veterans and veterans’ widows
need the help today Mr. Harper, give
back what is rightfully theirs, the V.I.P.
full benefits.
Come good on your V.I. P. promise
and make Nov. 11 another reason to
remember our veterans.
Give the V.I.P. before R.I.P. becomes
reality for all veterans and veterans’ widows
that is rightfully theirs in the first
place.
Let go the iron fist Mr. Harper and
sign the Veterans Independent Program
policy today and honour your promise,
show some respect for all the remaining
veterans and veterans’ widows left in the
cold for much too long a period.
