Abolish the Indian Act. Abolish aboriginal title. Abolish Indian status and all other forms of racial distinction.
We should work toward the full and final inclusion of indigenous peoples as proud British Columbians and as equal citizens of the great Dominion of Canada.
I certainly hope that Manny Malhotra isn’t passed over for a veteran dinosaur coach when Foote is ultimately fired.
Honestly, make RJ the GM, Manny the head coach, and let the boys cook.
🚨 BREAKING: Refugee Families Receive Over $3,000/Month While Canadian Seniors & Vulnerable Citizens Struggle
A leaked document from COSTI Immigrant Services confirms what many Canadians have long suspected: there’s a massive double standard when it comes to how the federal government supports newcomers compared to the Canadians who built this country.
The letter, dated August 30, 2024, outlines the financial benefits received by a refugee family under the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP), funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Here’s what the family receives:
• 🏠 $1,899.41/month core monthly allowance
• 💼 $949.70/month employment incentive
• 👶 $1,800/month in Child Tax Benefit
• 🛏️ $500/month housing top-up
• 🧺 $8,326.14 one-time start-up allowance for basic household needs
👉 Monthly Total: $5,149.11
👉 Annual Total (not including start-up): $61,789.32
👉 With Start-Up Allowance: Over $70,000 in the first year

🔍 Compare That to What Canadians Get:
• Old Age Security (OAS): $713.34/month (as of 2025)
• Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS): up to $1,065/month (max, if single)
• Provincial Social Assistance (e.g., NL Income Support): Average adult receives $300–$600/month for basic needs
• Child Benefit for low-income Canadian families: Up to $619.75/month per child, depending on income — but often lower if working
That means many Canadian seniors are living on $1,700/month or less, while refugees are given $5,000+ per month, plus thousands in household start-up support — without having contributed to the system.

🇨🇦 A Country That Puts Its Own People Last?
Why are our seniors choosing between heat and food while refugees receive fully funded homes, furniture, and cash? Why do single moms on assistance get lectured about work requirements while newcomers are handed incentives just for participating in the economy?
This isn’t about hate. It’s about fairness.
Canadians are being squeezed dry by inflation, record housing prices, crumbling health care, and government mismanagement. Meanwhile, Ottawa’s immigration policies are growing more generous — with no regard for the burden placed on taxpayers or struggling citizens.
⸻
📣 It’s Time to Demand:
• Equal treatment for Canadian-born citizens
• Full audits of federal immigration subsidy programs
• Immediate reforms to balance newcomer support with support for Canadians
• Transparency on all RAP and IRCC funding levels
⸻
Enough Is Enough.
We’re not against helping people in crisis — but not at the expense of our own struggling families, seniors, and youth. The system is broken, and Canadians are being left behind.
