Seniors
Seniors discussed in the House, with the Conservatives arguing the Liberals are neglecting seniors, who struggle to afford essentials, while the Liberals accuse the Conservatives of having no plan and voting against measures meant to support seniors. The back-and-forth mostly stuck to partisan talking points.
“You're wrong. You're not helping seniors. We want to give them money.”
“More seniors are poor now. Food banks are busy. The government needs to spend more money on seniors.”
“You voted against the dental benefit. Some seniors get that. I am calling you a hypocrite.”
