Seniors
A debate on seniors' issues. The Conservatives criticized the government's handling of seniors' poverty and called out the Liberals' arrogance in their responses. The Liberals mostly listed off various programs and funding amounts they claim to have provided for seniors, without addressing the specific issues raised.
“Look at all the ways the government spends money on seniors! We lowered the retirement age, increased some payments by 10%, and spent $54 million on a program. That's all I'll talk about. Ignore the root problem driving up prices that tanks seniors' savings.”
