Has everyone decided how they will spend the 55 cent a month increase in Our Old Age Security at the end of January?
We read all the jokes and forward the good ones, but I just wonder who will pass this one on. How about you sending it on, if you have nerve to do so.
Be happy to be of the 1%. Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people that run this country!!!
CONSERVATIVES & LIBERALS & NDP, say "We're "broke" and can't help our own. Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, Etc.,???
In the last few years we have provided direct cash aid to:
Hamas - 351 M,
Libya - 1.45 B,
Egypt - 397 M,
Mexico - 622 M,
Russia - 380 M,
Haiti - 1.4 B,
Jordan - 463 M,
Kenya - 816 M,
Sudan - 870 M,
Nigeria - 456 M,
Uganda - 451 M,
Congo - 359 M,
Ethiopia - 981 M,
South Africa - 566 M,
Senegal - 698 M,
Mozambique - 404 M,
Zambia - 331 M,
Kazakhstan - 304 M,
Iraq - 1.08 B,
Tanzania - 554 M,
TOTAL $14.933 BILLION
With literally billions and they still hate us! In total Canada spends over 5 Billion a year on direct cash support of foreign aid, and 20 Billion on Immigration & Refugee programs
Our retired seniors are living on a 'fixed income'. Do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour hundreds of billions and tons of food to foreign countries??
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AUSTRALIA, UK, THE USA & CANADA - countries where we have homeless persons, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medication and mentally ill without treatment... Etc.
Imagine if the "GOVERNMENT" gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?

We in Canada are fortunate to have such good lives in such a good country. I know that there is even in Canada an every widening gap between rich and poor. While we need to take better care of our own, we also need to spread the wealth around. But we need to ensure that the money is going to the people, not the administrators. And we should guarantee it is going to what the people want, not what we think they should want.
