I bet VAC is looking at doing that. I've heard some predictions this would happen remember it's an election year so I'm sure the Liberals will be trying to throw a few bones out to make people happy. I wouldn't hold my breath on any changes until after the election even then it could be another...

To be honest VAC front line employees seem to not be all that informed. They have been handing out wrong information for some time now. I don't think they have been given proper training on all the new changes or just simply can't remember everything. If your in person it's probably best to ask...

Once awarded you have to request the paper work from VAC for the lump sum. They are giving everyone the pension regardless of when you put a claim in.

You do realize that even Khadar said he didn't view himself as a child soldier.

If anyone's see the video of people cheering for him it's rather difficult to watch. I always wondered about him wanting to be a nurse and here's his reply on that...

My wife is graduating from her nursing program next month at the RPN level. There are 145 graduates and maybe 8 are male.

My wife has a new Wrangler JL. It's V6 is the same V6 you will find in the charger and the same in the Gladiator I believe. Now she owned a 2011 Wrangler before with V6 and this engine now definitely has more acceleration and power in it. Fuel wise it sucks and drinks it pretty quick. I have a...

Correct. You can only be paid to 100% however any conditions or illnesses will be covered for medications or modifications ect.
