Yet nobody is talking about the single biggest line item in the federal budget: Old Age Security. A retired couple with $180,000 of combined income currently receives $18,000 in OAS income supports. Yet 400,000 seniors live in poverty and now cuts to First Nations social programs. Reform is needed!

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Well worth watching if you want to know how our CPP dollars are being spent. What other job still gets bonuses when they lose billions of dollars...

Reagan: "Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends — weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world — all while cynically waving the American flag."

READ: “This series of 3 articles looks at what is driving the trend for ever bigger and higher pickups and SUVs, and the many reasons this is bad for people, roads, cities, the environment, and the climate.” Definately worth reading & sharing.
