The Trudeau government has taken deception, duplicity and disingenuousness to levels that would draw admiration from Josef Stalin. But nothing is as galling as seeing Veteran Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay’s shameful political posturing with veterans.
It might be hoped that any Canadian government would deal with our veterans with the honour and the duty owed to them, and that includes being honest about the failings of Veteran Affairs Canada (VAC). But like other Liberal cabinet ministers, MacAulay couldn’t resist a chance to play political word games in an effort to score points against the Conservatives.
This wasn’t about veterans. It certainly wasn’t about their welfare. It was simply about scoring political points.
Shameful, yes, but when the rot starts at the top with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, cabinet ministers must feel it is OK to be shady with the truth, to be economical with it, to disguise it with thunderous tweets. In MacAulay’s case, he is indulging in the time-honoured tradition of demolishing straw men.
