With over a million vets in Canada we should be asking for discounts. Our friends south of the border seem to bit little more patriotic, they have no issues the veterans.
Soon enough we will be asking for senior discounts. I served my country correct, should I be entitled to a discount ?
Asking for a discount doesn't mean you are entitled, just like any other blue collared Joe I work for a living. If a pensioner ask for a discount does their age make them entitled, no I doesn't.
What I am trying to say is it's up to the individual, some people ask and others don't. I have no issue asking because money is money.

Actually there are only 649,300 Vets in Canada according to VA as of 2018. But our friends of the boarder also have the support of the government. We don't, infact our government hates us. Where lower than the refugees in their mind. With the tones of budget cuts, and the hand me down equipment. With people having to turn in equipment, to issue to others. Jeez we sure had the money to fight in Afghanistan for 14 years with some of the best equipment. Now what?
Well sorry I offended you. Im younger, I see many I served, I deserve a discount type people. Like the entitled youths of today. Sensors are not making Military PAY... They live off pensions that are 1/3 of what a active person is making. So them having a discount is required, more then some 20 year old that wants a discount because they served. Mom went from a Salary of 65,000$ to when she retired, 1300$ a month.
But a simple google search comes up with this.
