This week, I was up in the House of Commons a couple of times asking the Veterans Affairs Minister about the discrepancy in funding by the federal government for funeral costs for Canadian Force Members and veterans.
Here was one of my questions:
Mr. Speaker, a Canadian Forces member receives $13,000 for funeral costs. A veteran…[En afficher davantage]

Glad you asked the question. You and the other sitting MP’s may need to take a different approach in Question Period. You seem to be walking into too many walls of Conservative contempt. Maybe if you asked more #real questions rather than one’s the media would be fit to cover. What I mean is, don’t ask questions you expect them to dodge. Ask…[En afficher davantage]

Perfectly put, we need to push our agenda, not just simply oppose the Con’s agenda…
”The guy who auditions for the role of opposition leader will get the job.”
”Who talks about the other guy’s agenda? The guy who’s going to watch the other guy govern, that’s who.” -
they never answered a question yet..only blamed the liberal party for everything….question and no answer period is a joke and makes the cons look good.

I’m not great at wording things but here goes:
canadian forces member $13,000
veteran member $ 3,600service to country priceless, so why does this government value the life of a veteran at 28% of the life of a canadian forces member. They both gave their lives so you can sit in Ottawa. and debate this issue.
By the way my…[En afficher davantage]

This is a tough one for me because I believe that the government (or governments) has a greater responsibility to not only military personel but also to police officers, firefighters etc. who are killed in the line of duty or as a result of their service, than to those who die of natural causes. As to the amount paid for funeral expenses it should…[En afficher davantage]

I for one believe that the biggest cost to our national defense is not the equipment budget, but the human cost.
In recognition of this, all medical and funeral costs should be fully funded regardless of income.

Sean I became the head of the Canadian veterans Advocacy NEW Brunswick Chapter looking forward to working with you-
This is such a difficult subject. Vets need help when and where they need it. Nevertheless – hold your fire – Vets from most wars did not, for the most part suffer from PTSD. Neither did the civilians who were suffering from those wars. I don’t mean from rationing or knitting mitts and scarves,but being on the ground where every minute of…[En afficher davantage]

Micheal,
I to was there for two different wars conflicts what ever you want to call them there is a different s when it comes to your generation and today’s generation and the same goes for our government. The reason most people didn’t suffer from PTSD back then was the medical personal didn’t know what it was. how many people committed…[En afficher davantage]

” Vets from most wars did not, for the most part suffer from PTSD”
I can believe that claims for PTSD are rising. How do we know that claims are proportional to mental health issues?
In my community, mental health services do have a stigma attached to them outside of the military. People inside the military have always made huge sacrifices for…[En afficher davantage]

#VET If Sean Casey represents vets why is it that he doesn’t have a comment one here regularly or at least more than once every month. I saw one post written 8 months ago thanking Sean about keeping us updated..is the update posted on here?

A friend pointed out to me that Remembrance Day is not a National Holiday. Why?

Short Answer – It’s Remembrance Day, not a Holi Day. There is a difference.

Cannot believe the nerve of the conservatives. After fighting the vets in court for the past few years over clawback to their pension the cons lost and in May agreed not to appeal the decision.
Now they are trying to take credit for doing what the court said they MUST do.
Money wasted on a court case. More money wasted today on an…[En afficher davantage] -

Thank you Sean Casey for keeping us up to date on what is going on in the Veteran’s Committee, specifically the replacement of Rob Anders. Hopefully with Anders gone, the members of the committee will be more focused on the problems facing veterans rather than catching a catnap. -

Hello Sean,
Recently PM Harper announced a plan to adopt the “Helmets to Hardhats” campaign from the US. The idea, as you know, offers veterans jobs filling shortages of skilled trade workers in Canada.
I think as Liberals we understand this is just one of the many approaches that can be taken to help veterans find gainful employment…[En afficher davantage]

That plan and approach, if you don’t mind me saying, might be too logical. Hey there Marco. You’ll probably remember me from our previous two meetings and introductions. Glad to chat with you here online.
Finding gainful employment for #vets after deployment should not be our main focus. They need a break, plain and simple. No matter the strength…[En afficher davantage]

To all who are trying to find ways and ideas to help the heroes that sacrifice for our values and freedoms, I salute you.
That said, we were beaten to the punch by the PC’s on this.
There are many many great ideas on all issues from Liberals. We should show the country where the creativity and vision is by publishing as many as possible.

Hello fellow re-builders:
I sent out a press release recently about the breach of privacy at Veterans Affairs. This is a deeply disturbing revelation and I hope that the issue will be dealt with appropriately.

Hello everyone,
Here are two questions I asked in the House about the very concerning allegations of Conservatives breaching veterans’ privacy. I have included the Minister’s response for your interest. Please let me know what you think.
Mr. Sean Casey (Charlottetown, Lib): Mr. Speaker, the minister’s political staff had access to a…[En afficher davantage]

post the 10 point plan and then we can see if he answered the question. That seems to be the ”party line” on this issue. ”we have a a 10 point plan,”
-
I wish the Minister would listen to the question – ”what are those steps ?”
Surely blaming the Liberals for everything is going to get old eventually – the Conservatives have been in power for 6 years.

Hello and warm wishes.
