As Remembrance Day approaches, veterans across the country are protesting.
Retired members of the Canadian armed forces have expressed renewed outrage at the conservative government’s decision to not re-appoint the outspoken Pat Stogran as veterans’ ombudsman.
Craig Leonard — a retired veteran who suffers from post traumatic distress disorder — says the government was not listening to what Stogran had to say.
Leonard — who served in Manitoba, New Brunswick and in the Golan Heights along the disputed-border between Israel and Syria — says the benefits offered under the 2006 Federal Veterans charter are unacceptable for those who served.
A nation-wide Day of Protest is taking place on November 6th.
Local picketers will gather at the office of Member-of-Parliament Gerald Keddy on Aberdeen Road in Bridgewater at 11:00 o’clock on Saturday.
