Veterans Affairs Canada is boasting about the great support the Trudeau government is providing Canada's military veterans, particularly those who are wounded and injured.
However, the veterans involved with the Equitas lawsuit - which sought to restore and protect disability pensions and benefits for veterans but was struck down late last year – would likely disagree with this assessment.
After all, when asked about the Equitas lawsuit during one of his town halls earlier this year, the prime minister said, "Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now."
