Question is, without a declaration of war, do veterans and their families recieve less benefits if they are injured in a 'police action' then in an actual War ?

Kevin Kevin Kevin, Canada was a peacekeeper after WWII but its roll has changed since the Conservatives took federal office from the Liberals two years ago about. There is a concerted effort to boost up our national armed forces, poo pooing the francophones deminishes their contribution. We live in a democracy and everyone has the freedom to express their opinion.
America and the Quebec French use to be allies against the hated British crown and colonies.

Depends on the law. At some times, the law has said that certain vets receive less; at others, the law has said that certain vets have received more. Right now, I think it's the same, but it wasn't so for a long time vis a vis Korea and Vietnam.
An interesting newer example is the mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan. These are, legally, not vets at all when they return, so they (or their families, if they do not survive) receive no benefits at all from the federal government.

I believe the benefits would be the same since they are still fighting, I will ask some people I know who are in the Marines, Army, & Navy, see if it's different for each brach or what the differences in benefits if any are.
Why are you worried if your Canadian you guys aren't ever going to go to war. The French part of Canada has taken over it seems.

No they don't. No western nation has officially declared war in the past 60 years, but give the same kinds of benefits to veterans of 'police actions' as they would to veterans of wars.

No, other than a declaration of war would bring additional funding in general.

No...the nature of the political process that led them to where they does not change the benefits....only specific legislation can do that

Nope. They do get less support from the demos. I am sorry that was wrong, less from 0 is still 0.
