Which country would that be?

Canada. If that's not where you're from then just say so. I don't care to know your city, state and zip, so just the country where you're from and where you're currently residing will be fine.

I wouldn’t know, since I only know a few Freepers in person and they are all men.

Well that proves it. All of the Conservatives who supported the trade deals were men.

Please post any evidence you have that these vets are unemployed because of outsourcing.

Why do you think our highly trained Vets are unemployed and homeless? Because they're lazy bums with poor work ethics?

Every business in my area is desperately looking for good employees, so I suspect there may be something more than “outsourcing” that’s contributing to the problem you identified.

Where is your area, and are they tech jobs or part time jobs without benefits?

I’m not Canadian, and I don’t live in Canada. “Alberta’s Child” is the name of a song. :-O

I live in Appalachia.

The companies I referenced that are desperate for good help are in manufacturing (transportation equipment, steel and aluminum fabrication, and building products), food production, and warehousing/distribution. These are not low-paying part-time jobs, and some of these employers end up using passenger vans to shuttle employees here from 50+ miles away.

I have no idea. You’re the one who brought them up. I don’t know any of them. Maybe there are mental health and/or substance abuse issues?

That question begs the question, "highly trained in what?"

An increasing amount of military training has no correlation to civilian jobs or careers. Forty years of outsourcing has made sure of that.

Helicopter pilots are a good example. For almost all of them, their last flight in a helicopter was in the military because there just aren't that many civilian helicopter jobs, much less ones that pay well.

Gunners, artillery, and such also have specialized skills that no one wants outside of the reserve unit they may join.
