This is a federal election year in Canada. It's expected to be called sometime in the spring. The party in power, The Conservatives, have not released their latest budget, but word has leaked out that they will be cutting the budget of Veterans Affairs, the office that takes care of retired and disabled military personnel by about $54 million.
In related news, with the reduced budget, they will be increasing services and resources to veterans.
So to recap, less budget, more resources.
Sounds about as satisfying as 'lite' beer.
