“Seniors are sleeping in Tim Hortons because they can't afford a place to live. The Prime Minister spends a lot of money on luxury catering. Canada is the only G20 country in recession. Canadians can't afford food, rent or housing. The Prime Minister's policies are failing Canadians. Why doesn't he admit it?”
What they said. What they meant.

Seniors
A debate where the Liberals insisted their New Horizons program changes were good for seniors organizations, while the Conservatives criticized the red tape involved. The NDP accused the government of lacking empathy for seniors and the Bloc demanded the reform be postponed. The debate then devolved into partisan bickering over which party really supports seniors.
“Liberal policies are causing a crisis. Seniors can't afford housing. They're homeless and shelters are full. Seniors shouldn't live like this after working so hard. The Prime Minister should reverse his expensive policies so Canadians can afford to live.”
