Good for Trudeau.. this is what Canada about.. compassion for the under dog.

Guess I will have to vote Liberal next time around.

I doubt it. A good number of Conservative MPs were ok with this. Some rather prominent ones too.

I agree.

In Quebec a Trump could happen.

They already had one in Duplessis. After he went there was a lot of backlash.

Is it right that the Gov't should be footing the entire bill for mistreatment of homosexuals etc.? I wonder how much of the mistreatment was perpetrated by Corporation leaders etc. Is the taxpayer responsible for paying the entire bill? I guess this sort of shit happens when you have a limp wristed leader!

No, they’re only paying for what the government itself did.

That's funny. But I see no reason why taxpayers today should have to pay compensation for something the majority today were not old enough to even know about nevermind vote.

Goes with the territory of having a country and government. Governments inherit responsibilities from their predecessors including the mistakes. If we are going to go down the path you suggest then why bother pay the national debt at all? A big chunk of that was spent before quite a few of us were born or when we were too young to have a say,

You really are f**king STUPID aren't you? Of course they should be compensated, but it should be done by the malefactors! TWIT!

Those malefactors were the government. Not the current one but still the Government of Canada.

A few! :) - Actually 10,000!

As part of the US army.

Exactly, if you're normal like I am we DIDN'T make life miserable for these people, cause them embarrassment, deprive them of a career or throw them in jail! It's just total presumptuous for someone to fork over OUR money on THEIR behalf. As I believe I've hinted in the past the man is a f**king TWIT.

Our representatives did and they were working for us. I wasn’t even born yet when this happened but I’m totally fine with what the government is doing on this issue. The Canadian people elected the people who committed this wrong over and over again.

My only issue lies with the fact that my family finances can’t afford to pay the amounts of taxes needed to support handouts like these.

It’s not like these issues are changing the tax rates.

In order to receive payment from the Government, how do you prove you were discriminated against? What if you got drummed out of your job simply because you were an arsehole?

No Canadian forces saw combat in Vietnam.

This whole discussion was actually started when someone wondered if gay people could serve as front line troops. As stupid as that is all by itself I thought that I would point out that even if human being was unable to be a front line soldier because of their sexual orientation it would not stop them from being one of the dozens of military people who are required in order to field a single front line soldier.

I was sent to elementary public school against my own will. Please send check in the mail.
I had a teacher in grade 4 right off the boat from England. THAT requires compansation.
Ramming French down our throats has been very traumatizing too.

Do like the government and borrow it. After all the debt will balance itself. Or something like that.

Maybe, if we are really really lucky Harper could be persuaded to make a comeback.



gawd.. not Harper. He is one of the string of mediocrities and quislings that have ruled Canada from Mulroney, Chretien, Harper, J. Trudeau. The NeoCons were every bit as bad as the NeoLibs.

Essentially there was no difference between them exept the patter meant to appeal to electoral franchises. Harper was no social conservative and he was a fanatical anti-nationalist economic liberal. He was a pure Reagan/Thatcher trickledowner in the pay of the global trading and financial cartels. They are all responsible for the deindustrialization and wealth polarization with which we are now afflicted.

We need a true social conservative who can reestablish the moral order on which the country was founded.. and an economic policies which are nationalist, populist, dirigiste, progressive. Those that define traditional economic conservatism.

Anyone wanting to get elected in Canada will only do so by appeasing the majority communist ideologues. We are getting what we deserve.

I have absolutely no problem with paying money to the LGBTQ but since Trudeau promised it w/o consulting with his electorate it should come solely from HIS bank account!

Stop being so silly. If Trudeau promised compensation for injured soldiers or crotchety seniors embarrassed on web forums, you'd be all for it and you wouldn't want it to come out of his account

The only problem I had with Harper was he failed to evict that fat little porcine f**ker from the Senate, can't recall his name right now but a total waste of skin!

I was complicit in this. When I was in the military a number of gay people were dismissed and I knew it was going on. Everyone knew it was going on. Everyone who was in the military at that time should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh **** off. When were you in the military? From when to when?

Harper was a good manager, this twit doesn't have a clue - he assigns people to positions based on gender, little consideration for ability!

P.S. I believe Duffy was the name!
