New Veterans Affairs office aimed at advancing gender equality

The office is aimed at removing barriers to helping veterans who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or two-spirit.Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay says the government is responsible for providing these members with the care and support they deserve.

The idea for the office flowed from discussions during the first annual Women's Veterans Forum held in Charlottetown last year. Since then, the department has spoken with veterans and interested parties to identify barriers some face due to their gender or sexual orientation.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 3, 2020.

Here's a thought, maybe the office should be aimed at actually helping our veterans, monetarily, mentally and physically. Cut the BS.

They can’t treat their own but bending ova for gender equality? This is rich...ain’t it. 🙄🙄🙄

How about Veterans Affairs just focus on taking care of vets and clearing the backlog of cases they have? How about that?

But he picture is of all guys. OK if that's gender equality....

Same physical requirements, no issue. feminism.

That should help those subs get out of port

Anything about hiring based upon merit and merit only.
