Harper gang pranks Canadian vets with classic switcheroo!

Oh my, what a fun-loving gang of jokers that Harper crew is!

A week ago no less than three Harper cabinet ministers preened before the TV cameras while straight-facedly announcing $200 millions in new funding to address mental health issues among Canadian Forces veterans.

A few days later some reporters have read the fine print; that $200 million will be spread over 50 years!

Let's do some math; 200 million over 50 years is $4,000,000 per year.... divvy that up among the 40,000+ CF members who rotated through Afghanistan... That works out to less than a hundred bucks per veteran per year.

That's pathetic...

And playing it as a bold new initiative to take care of our veterans is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
