Evidently, he likes to play dress up. Found this circulating online this morning. Looks like a real winner. Has some pretty sweet hero pics on his Facebook profile of Laszlo Kenderesi.
I'm not "baiting" you at all! You pointed out that you have a direct line to the District Manger, which doesn't exist. I was a bit surprised by that title as it doesn't exist. There would be the Client Service Team Manager (CSTM) who is a District Office Manager, then the next up is the Area...
Also of impressive note - I wrote a letter to Mr. O'Toole on Tuesday morning. I just now (well, 10 minutes ago, but still 7:30 at night, and after hours) received a very good response from the Minister. A 3 day turnaround for a letter from the MVA? Christ, I wrote a letter to Minister Blaney a...
Are we done with the martyrdom? Seriously! The point is filling out a questionnaire once a year to extend your benefits IS NOT A NATIONAL NEWS ISSUE! It takes about 30 minutes to complete, ONCE A YEAR.
Not to mention, he, and the news agencies keep on saying VAC or the Government is making him...
Not incorrect at all. Absolutely everything I said in my above statement is 100% correct. You added some extra information than I had, but what I said was correct. Yes, you are required to notify immediately and not wait for the form, but guess what? There have been countless instances of people...
One other thing I'd like to point out that highlights Manulife's position on sending these forms out for continued benefit coverage.... yes, an individual may lose both legs, but, he very well may end up re-entering the workforce in a new occupation that pays him MORE than he was making in the...
This just on todays news;

At the top of the headline, the eye grabbing headline - "Veteran tired of Government making him prove he lost his legs"
Again, no the Government is NOT making him...
This post somewhat highlights what's going wrong with VAC. You work full time, yet have a Case Manager? A Case Managers job is re-integrating soldiers who are struggling to get back into the workforce, to help them acquire civilian skills, need support and guidelines, and indeed, in many cases...
Thank you, but I'm not a Case Manager defending my job, I was an Administration CR4. If you read my comments, I was quite open to the fact that VAC certainly has it faults. If people get defensive that someone is stepping up to say "Hey, maybe this point of view should be dissected a little to...
First and foremost, I think Mr. Franklin deserves a helluva lot more than he's received. At the same time, I don't believe that the vilification of VAC is going to help matters. All that does is get a pile of angry guys ranting and raving and spawning stories of "I have a buddy who got royally...
Unfortunately, I have to disagree with this assessment. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have a public figure of Mr. Mercer's stature championing the plight of Veterans, however, I must say that there is some slight of hand to this report of his. First of all, to the statement he isn't biased -...
Just as an add to this - If you require a masking device for your tinnitus, that will bump the percentage up to 11% or $30,000 (2014 Table payouts). The 6% is the base assessment for a tinnitus pension, but should your tinnitus be severe enough that you need a masking device (A hearing aid that...
I won't be 'wasting' it with a vote for some fringe party that has no hope of actually getting in power. I have no problem stating my Federal vote is going Liberal. By no means do I think Trudeau is any type of spectacular politician, but I accept that the Federal Government of Canada will be...
You would think so wouldn't you? It seems so blatantly obvious, yet after witnessing Ontario voters re-install Wynne a few months past, I'm not so sure. I hope for everyones sake, you're right - all I can control is my one vote and it certainly isn't going to the Cons.
I don't think he is being set up. The real damage the Government had planned on doing is done and Fantino's head has rolled. Veterans are rejoicing because he's gone after too many gaffe's. Enter the new guy.... A man who has served - this placates the troops and the Government is happy that...
I wholeheartedly concur with the first point. Mr. Fantino did nothing but trip over himself during his stint in that position. He never established a good rapport with Veterans and did a bang up job isolating and insulting many of them. On comment #2, it doesn't matter. Regardless of the fact...
Congrats on the retirement.... 1971 to present.... Wow. I'm wondering to myself (I realise it's none of my business whatsoever) how many days of Annual you may have banked from then to now as I remember hearing stories of guys who served in the 70's, 80's and 90's banking a pile of days that...
