An open letter to South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert.
I recently returned home from a vacation, which accounts for the delay in responding to your Remembrance Day survey regarding our veterans.
I have always been a supporter of the right wing, be it the old PCs, Reform, Alliance or now the Conservative Party of Canada.
The treatment of our recent veterans by your government is disgusting and pathetic.
The reports that disability pensions have been replaced by meager one-time payouts sickens me.
I am not in any way connected to and have never served in our armed forces; I do salute and honour those that have.
Then you have the audacity to think you and your caucus are doing a “great job?”
Give me a break.
This could be the single issue that will make me, after 50-plus years of supporting the conservatives, look for an alternative for my vote and financial support.
Kip Leith, Surrey
