He had no problem getting benefits until he left the Canadian Forces. Now, he has to go through so much red tape with Veterans Affairs that he's working to solve these problems for all 700,000 injured veterans to make their lives easier.

Imagine this, for a man with no legs: "Franklin has even had his wheelchair taken away from him twice because of disputes over which department should pay for it and which doctor's notes were needed.

I think VAC is quite capable of handling their medical issues without this kind of incompetence. And I don't believe many veterans here have god-complexes, they just want help to live as normal a life as possible.


With our health-care system, my doctor just has to bring up my medical info online and knows my history instantly. It's just a matter of minutes before he can get it and any new development to a specialist. VAC obviously has the same sort of system ....... why are people like Franklin having to fight for things they obviously need? Yes, it is incompetence.

(I was joking with Uben, I didn't realize he wasn't aware this happened in Canada).
