great video👍
The payment should have been means tested. The minister said that most seniors live on less than $50,000 per year but those on GIS live on about $20,000 or less. The additional expenses because of Covid19 have been much harder on the poorest seniors.
and I thought liberals cared? nope
What a Croc ? Most seniors are sharper than any liberal politicians ANYDAY
Why so long.
Why so little
Not large enough.
They suffer at every turn
Have they not been through enough
They have always been heavily impacted.
Ever more so now.
This is not even a drop in the bucket for seniors.
They already live on nothing.
It’s the Generation of seniors who have worked hard all their lives.
And have been given the least.
so with thousands of seniors in nursing homes, who will get the extra oas, gis, $? Will long term care homes keep that increase?
