CAF Vet 🇨🇦 Libertarian stuck in a socialist country. Small government, castle law, and calling out Ottawa and shitty leadership.

I stand with @Kelsisheren. 100%. On Oct 28, 2025, she sat in front of the Commons Veterans Affairs committee and said what too many of us already know. She told MPs that over 20 veterans have confirmed they were offered MAID, that she has written proof, and more have come forward with recordings. Her words: "You said that it stopped. Here's a fun fact: It hasn't." Veterans Affairs' answer since 2023: 4 cases, 1 employee, 402,000 files searched. "Isolated." Now a lawyer is preparing a class action. She also called them out for not counting veteran suicides. The latest national study only follows vets to 2016, and the next one isn't due before December 2027. The committee's own report says a Regular Force veteran dies by suicide about every nine days. And while MAID gets talked about, she says treatments that actually help, like psychedelic-assisted therapy, are buried in red tape. Apex Labs had to fight through Health Canada's Special Access Program to get her treatment. What she asked for isn't radical: Count every death. Publish the data. Stop putting MAID in front of veterans. Fund the treatments that work. "We never leave anyone ever behind. It's time this government starts living by that." We don't just remember on Nov 11. We carry them every day. @MarkJCarney @JMcknightDelta @DavidMcGuinty Do your fucking jobs.

Third generation. My grandfather's war, my father's uniform, my own boots. Today I'm not thinking about politics. I'm thinking about the ones who didn't come home, and the ones who came home but never really did. I carry you every day, brothers. Till Valhalla. 🌺

158 of our troops died in Afghanistan. Ottawa still doesn't legally call it wartime service. Carney promised a review in 2025. The Senate passed a fix unanimously in June. Monday, his ministers said they'll "develop a process to consult." Lest we forget, or lest we consult?

Pte Shaun Farrell. 23 years old. "Comfort kills dreams." He lived it, and he chose the hard road to serve. Prince Albert showed up for him today. Canada should too. Til Valhalla, brother.

Trump offering Canada an "associate membership" like we're signing up at Costco. Honestly, cheaper gas and lower taxes is the best deal anyone's offered Canadians in 10 years. Still a hard no. But Carney should be embarrassed it's even tempting. Do we at least get the hot dog?

Canadian troops in Latvia isn't breaking news. Op REASSURANCE began in 2014. Canada has led NATO's battlegroup there since 2017, a full brigade since 2024. About 2,000 CAF are there now. The only new part: an exercise moving the brigade east. Where was everyone for 9 years?

Toonie, five, twenty. Whatever you've got. Poppy money goes to the Legion's Poppy Fund for veterans and their families in need. Not to Ottawa. We overpay for coffee every day without blinking. This one actually matters. Who are you wearing yours for this year?

Ottawa says Canada finally hit NATO's 2%. Here's one way. Its own briefing notes: the Coast Guard is civilian, unarmed and "will not take on a defence role." Same notes: "100% of the Coast Guard's budget" now counts toward NATO. That's not defence. That's bookkeeping. Agree?

Ottawa cut veterans' medical cannabis coverage from $8.50 to $6 a gram this April. The PBO says the average vet now pays $2,668 more a year. Nearly half are using it for PTSD. Same government just found $1.6B for an AI company. Who's Ottawa really looking out for?

Receipts: VAC's own page on the $8.50 to $6 cut, effective April 1, 2026: veterans.gc.ca/en/contact-us… PBO: the average vet pays $2,668 more a year. Ottawa books it as $4.4B in "savings," but actual cash saved is only $90M to $120M a year: pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/N…

3:40 a.m. Three armed men break into a Toronto home. A 75-year-old dad and his two daughters are shot. He's hit with a hammer too. Carney's Justice Minister, on a castle law: "This isn't the Wild West." Tell that to this family. Is your home your castle?

Replying to @SeanFraserMP
This isn’t the Wild West. It’s Canada. Canadians deserve real solutions that make us safer, not slogans that inspire fear and chaos for Pierre’s political survival.

Canada needs a castle law. Right now, self-defence is a Criminal Code section Ottawa can rewrite whenever it wants. It isn't a right in the Charter. If someone breaks into your home at 3 AM, you shouldn't spend the next year proving you deserved to live. Put it in the Constitution. Who's with me?

Waiting on VAC to decide your disability claim? Good news. The VAC Minister just launched digital badges. For employers. In 2024-25, VAC met its own 16-week standard just 47% of the time. The target is 80%. Badges before benefits. Vets, how long did yours take?
