Cuts Coming to Elderly Healthcare Benefits

MP Geoff Regan asked Harper's Cons in Parliament today if it was true that they are planning to cut Canadian elderly healthcare benefits and double their monthly payments. I was expecting a conservative to stand up red-faced and express his outrage at such an appalling accusation. Instead, Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, states with reserved manner that they are looking after the interest of the taxpayer.

I think taxpayers would like to see MORE help for struggling elderly in this country, not less! I think taxpayers would like to see LESS of our money spent on secret joint espionage posts with the NSA and less billions of dollars spent on G20 meetings, to big corporate empire interests and by forcing provinces, through tougher laws and punishments, to fit the bill for more prisons. No doubt, there will be more law-breaking in the future as our economy declines due to globalization, but instead the government could try investing in our economy by supporting entrepreneurs rather than giving all the breaks to ruthless corporations who only care about their bottom line and have way too much power over our supposedly democratic system.
