​Jody Wilson-Raybould's resignation from cabinet this week has stoked long-standing frustration, disappointment and anger among Canada's veterans, who say they have been ignored and betrayed by the Trudeau government. All of which had sowed seeds of discontent even before Wilson-Raybould was handed the Veterans Affairs portfolio on Jan. 14, taking over from O'Regan in a move widely regarded as a demotion from her previous role as justice minister. "We don't have a minister of Veterans Affairs anymore." Not that the trend has been unique to the Liberals; all told, there have been seven Veterans Affairs ministers in the past decade, not counting Sajjan. While she repeatedly denied that description, insisting that working for veterans was vitally important, it nonetheless stuck with some veterans.
