Prime Minister Justin Trudeau never ceases to amaze.

He cries on national television over the death of a rock singer, but is apparently unmoved by the plight of our country’s veterans.

He has $10.5 million for Omar Khadr. He spends Canadian taxpayers’ money “reintegrating” ISIS fighters returning to Canada, when he should be barring their re-entry or sending them to prison.

However, he has no problem acting in direct contradiction to the Liberal election platform; specifically, the statement that “no veteran will be forced to fight their own government for the support and compensation they have earned.”

He has no problem telling a veteran who has lost a leg in service of his country that veterans are “asking for more than we’re able to give right now.” He is apparently unmoved by veterans who feel Canada has turned its back on them, but weeps at the loss of Gord Downie.
