Well said Rob and I think shows the true feelings of this government towards the military and our heritage.
So if the medal group is allowed to leave the country, then first what would that move say about protecting cultural property and secondly what sort of response would the move draw from Veteran's groups and concerned individuals?
If the medal group is not allowed to leave then what secret deal has been orchestrated between the buyer and Canada - perhaps a 'good-will donation' touted in the media or a 'behind-the-scenes buy-out'? I doubt anyone outside of Canada with the means to purchase a VC medal group would gamble on never getting it; so I feel some sort of deal has already been struck.
