Having lurked these forum for many years, I am fairly confident I know what the response will be; however, I did a search and turned up no results on the subject.
What are everyone's thoughts on the government's decision to not continue the tradition of issuing a commemorative medal on the occasion of the nation's 150th Anniversary next year?
The Centennial medal (1967) was issued by a Liberal government, with the 125th (1992) medal being issued by a Conservative government. Sounds bipartisan enough? What makes the 150th different?
Let's spare the 'Why isn't the Army buying boots?!?!' or 'The Jubilee medals were unfairly administered!!!!' comments if we can, since these awards are not administered by the military until they're approved in the first place, which the 150th hasn't been.
