I cant stand listening to the lies of the Liberals & NDP about " helping" seniors. So as a low income senior myself let me explain why.
They claim they are helping us with dental care. Lol ! Most people over 70 years of age have dentures ! Ironically, this " dental care" does NOT cover the cost of dentures ! Appx. 2 years ago I needed new dentures. It cost me close to $ 5000.00 and I never got a dime from this govt ! Of course, I did not have the money, so the burden fell on my family. ( I have no children) So their current "plan" does not cover the largest expense seniors have ! Furthermore, IF you still have a few of your own teeth left, all you would need is a once a year cleaning. So what's the big "deal" they are bragging about thats helps us so much ? A hundred dollars a year for cleaning ? Woopy doo !
Instead of bringing our pensions up to par with inflation, they are sending OUR billions of dollars to Ukraine and are PAYING FOR SENIORS PENSIONS OVER THERE !!! Yes, I heard it right from Freelands own mouth last summer !! This is ludicrous and criminal ! It's theft.
Now the climate change rebate JT claims is helping us so much ! It comes 3 or 4 times a year and is just over $ 100.00 which is a far cry from what we all pay into it through our taxes ! This small amt of money does very little for any low income people. It does not even pay for half a months groceries, and I along with thousands of others, are using the food bank ! None of these tid bits they brag about help us pay our rent or bills. Nor does it cover the increase in cost of food or gas ! Or the extreme increases in our rent.
There is no rent geared to income for seniors. All their bragging about building houses does NOTHING for seniors ; nor do they even talk about it! For two years now I have been looking for low income housing or apartments for three senior ladies. There was nothing ! I trust you can understand our disgust at the PMs bragging about how much he is doing for seniors. They havent even hit the tip of our iceberg ! In fact, they are completely out of touch with our hardship and reality !
It costs at least $ 3000.00 a month for a single person to live right now. Low income seniors get $ 1200.00 to $ 1700.00 on average. So if they want to " help" seniors they need to increase OAS and CPP by $ 1500.00 a month !! We know that wont happen with this greedy, corrupt govt. Putting us in debt by billions, and totally by passing seniors ! Utterly a disgrace when a nation does not care for its most vulnerable ! Please will someone reveal the truth in the house about how seniors are NOT being helped by this govt !
