How Canada Treats its Veterans There is a very good tradition of respecting and looking after welfare of their Veterans in Europe and North America. No wonder their Armies provide them best security and the best security ensures best economy. Although, ideal can never be achieved, their Veterans also have some grievances, but compared to India they are far ahead. Having lived sometime in Canada, I explored with Veterans ministry and they have accepted me as affiliated Veteran status for being from erstwhile commonwealth and allied country of WW-1 and WW-2.Immediate perks will be , I will have special SUV plate as Veterans car Plate by coming Tuesday at the nominal cost of $5.With Veterans car plate, I can park in reserved car parking spots at many places. I have been given membership of all Veterans legions located all over Canada equivalent of Indian DSOI,s. With this come many other advantages advanced to Veterans hailing from Canada. They have also deputed me to attend, short course on Mental Health Emergency response free of cost.
