For weeks we've been talking about a "War on Police." Last Sunday, an Alberta police officer emailed a piece titled "I Was A Police Officer". A first person accounting of a police officer who dies or was killed while on duty. Much response. He also reacted to the question we asked on air "Do you trust police" with the question about whether police can afford to trust the public. Today the Alberta police officer joins us. Guest: Sgt. Nathan Kardish - Ponoka Integrated Traffic Unit/RCMP Traffic Services/Alberta Sheriffs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last weekend we spoke about the issue of the federal government's lump sum vs lifetime disability pension issue for injuries suffered by military veterans while in service. Colonel Pat Stogran, Canada's first veterans ombudsman, Major Mark Campbell, double-amputee and one of seven former CAF members leading a class-action lawsuit against the federal government and Sgt. Major Barry Westholm, who resigned from the CAF over the lack of proper treatment for veterans at the JPSU (Joint Personnel Support Unit) Eastern Ontario spoke to the issue. Several listener emails suggested injured veterans may just be after more money when they're already well cared for by Veterans Affairs. Guest: Sgt. Major Barry Westholm. Will read two emails he sent me. One addressing the people who challenge veterans on the disability pension issue. The other on why the disability pension vs lump sum payment is unfair to injured veterans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is the federal government of Canada opposing military veterans from the Afghanistan campaign who have launched a class action lawsuit against the government for removing the disability pension for wounded veterans in favour of a one-time lump sum payment? Why is Ottawa challenging Major Mark Campbell who lost both of his legs above the knee in Afghanistan and is one of the veterans who launched the class-action? Why does the federal government argue in court it has no social contract with the men and women of Canada's military, as Sir Robert Borden, PM during WWI clearly stated? Why would the widower of retired, 51 year old, Cpl Leona McEachern, who committed suicide on Christmas Day 2013, after protracted battles for medical coverage with Veterans Affairs Canada, receive a letter from Veterans Affairs Canada demanding repayment of 6 days of Cpl McEachern's December VAC cheque, because, as the letter stated, she died before the end of the month? Cpl McEachern was a guest on this program and told of how his wife would go for long walks, listening to the program on her portable device. Guest: Col Pat Stogran, Canada's first Veterans Ombudsman, appointed by the Harper government, but not reappointed after he criticized the government. Fmr. Commander of the PPCLI and first on-the-ground Canadian military commander in Afghanistan. Also, military veterans (young veterans from the Afghanistan campaign) and their families have spoken on air about how the lump sum payment for their injuries is insufficient and how they are being ignored by VAC. While many of our young military vets suffer with PTSD and physical injury which may limit their future options and are paid a reduced lump sum instead of a lifetime disability pension, former members of parliament are pocketing lifetime gold plated pensions they voted for themselves. Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe, for example, is receiving more than $140,000 per year in federal MP pension and for life (with a 10% COLA increase annually). GUEST: Sgt. Major Barry Westholm. After more than 30 years, Sgt. Major Westholm resigned from military over how veterans were being mistreated. Will the Conservatives pay a price in next year's federal election over military veterans anger about their treatment by the government? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
