Only four wounded veterans get $10,000 per month, despite Fantino’s remark

This guy should go back to being chief of the Toronto police where $10k a month is common. Worst type of bully politician you will meet. He was never a soldier, doesn't understand their issues nor their willingness to sacrifice for a fraction of the salary many make.

I'm sure the multiple pensions he will receive for his "civic duty" at various government levels will ease the pain. Now how about helping those who aren't drinking from the same trough that he has?
