    “Announce it to big celebration and then put in the fine print that it’s only for single-parent households making less than $100 a year”

    They’ve been pulling a lot of this shit lately, like that dental program a while back

      You write “introducing a programme with a staged roll-out” a little weird, just like the guy above writes “support people who need it because you’re Canadian” a little selfishly. You’re not pissed at the programme, but you seem to be pissed you’re not in it on day one.

      BE HAPPY not to be in a target demographic in need of added support on day one. Take that as a win. I know people in that position. I’ve been someone in that position twice before and I’m chuffed as hell not to be in that position today.

      Please re-examine why hatred towards the less fortunate is what you’re feeling, as well as disparaging a government who in a minority was able to even start a programme amid the constant flack from our cruel, bigoted, elitist Opposition.
