That graphic is ugly for a reason!
Ottawa spent years putting seniors on a fixed cheque while it booked hotel rooms and meals for asylum claimants at a rate that would make a pensioner laugh if it wasn’t their tax bill.
A low-income senior on OAS plus GIS is looking at roughly $1,600 to $1,800 a month. That is the cheque after a lifetime here. In 2024 the department told Parliament the hotel program was running about $140 a night for a room and $84 a day for meals. That $224 was not pocket money. It was the taxpayer covering the room service. Later answers put the combined daily cost around $195. IRCC hotels alone ran past a billion dollars. Provinces and cities got another $1.5 to $1.8 billion through the Interim Housing Assistance Program.
They will tell you it was never every newcomer and the hotels are winding down. Fine. Then explain why the people who built this country still have to choose between heat and groceries while Ottawa treated emergency hotels like a permanent line item.
This is not compassion. Compassion does not put the people who paid in last. This is a government that can find money overnight for a surge it created and then lectures seniors about tightening their belts.
Elbows up does not pay the hydro.
Would you rather see the next billion go to the people who already earned it here, or to another temporary program that never stays temporary?

Albertans who have voted Conservative only please. With the CPC launching their Conservatives for Canada campaign against Alberta Independence ahed of the October 19 referendum, will you...
They said Alberta could never leave Canada.
No legal path. No plan. No answers.
Then the 214 page Alberta Transition Plan dropped.
I read it. Tonight, I’m breaking down what it says and destroying the biggest arguments against Alberta independence.
Video drops tonight on YouTube!
You will be sadly sorry next election. 300-500,000 strong will be working to end the 37 seats of CPC to put an Alberta First representation in place that no longer sits whipped in warm parliament seats like the Alberta CPCs have done for decades.
Get ready to pack your bag Stephanie … you’re standing on the wrong side of the fence.
I would like to hear from all the pro-polievre influencers about the CPC's decision to launch an attack against Alberta's independence movement and referendum.
I'd like to hear all of your arguments as to why Albertans should just turn the other cheek and take a few more decades of sucker punches to the schnoz.
I'd like to hear what all will change and truly make Alberta an equal in confederation.
If you have already produced such work, please post it below if you don't mind.

Albertans my age (61) saw the federal government destroy their job opportunities at the beginning of our work careers and near the end of our work careers.
Not looking forward to them destroying my retirement.
Alberta Renewal will shortly release its formal response to Keith Wilson’s Alberta Transition Plan.
The Plan’s operational work on how a province becomes a country without ordinary life collapsing deserves a serious reading.
The question of who then speaks for Albertans at the exit table deserves an Alberta-First answer.
That response is coming.

With the CPC MPs now campaigning against a referendum vote in AB, I will cease donations and federal party membership.
I'll still vote CPC in the general, but I don't want my funds or effort fighting against my interests. I won't be volunteering anymore either.
From just 3 days ago.
Carney claiming that Canada is growing jobs at 4 times the rate of the U.S.
We are not. He is lying.
This man has been convincing Canadians that everything is great, preying on them, giving them false hope that under his watch things will get better.
He is the worst kind of abuser.
🚨 BREAKING: PROMINENT INDIGENOUS LAWYER BACKS OPTION 2!
Leighton Grey, a King’s Counsel lawyer and member of Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, is urging Albertans to vote OPTION 2 on October 19.
Grey argues that Alberta taking control of its future could create an opportunity to build a better relationship with Indigenous peoples — instead of continuing the dysfunctional status quo with Ottawa.
This destroys the narrative that Alberta choosing its own future must mean turning its back on Indigenous Albertans.
A stronger Alberta should work for ALL Albertans.
October 19: VOTE OPTION 2. 💙
Mark Carney lied.
Canada is not creating jobs at 4 times the rate of the U.S.
Try, U.S. is creating jobs at 3 times the rate of Canada.
Numbers don’t lie. Facts don’t lie.
But every time he opens his mouth, Mark Carney lies.
Carney has publickly said that we were at war against the U.S.A.
The Americans have a law on their books called The Logan Act. The statute (18 U.S.C. § 953) makes it a crime for a U.S. citizen, acting without U.S. government authority, to communicate with a foreign government with the intent to influence that government’s conduct on a dispute with the United States or to defeat U.S. measures.
It was written in 1799 to stop private freelancers from conducting unauthorized diplomacy.
MAybe the U.S. Department of Justice should go after Johnson using that law.
"Men without beards may cause 'indecent thoughts' in other men because they look like women."
Muslim scholar in Spain argues that all men must grow a beard like his for this reason.
Is it just me, or they are all repressed and gay?
Mark Carney isn’t stupid.
He knows exactly what he’s doing.
He’s relying on the arrogance, ignorance, and false sense of superiority of his supporters.
And they have yet to disappoint.
The Canada we once knew, is gone.
Mark Carney will walk away unscathed.
Canadians will not.
The Liberal Party of Canada is responsible for the decline of Canada, not Donald Trump.
The evidence is 100% crystal clear and ready for you when you're ready to set aside your emotions and leave the cult.
BREAKING: The Alberta Transition Council has officially released its comprehensive transition plan for an independent Alberta.

For all the STUPID MORONS who support the @liberal_party, this is what they have done to YOU & YOUR FAMILY! USEFUL IDIOTS to a traitorous Party in Canada!
🚨 ELECTIONS ALBERTA, EXPLAIN THIS.
How are referendum workers being vetted?
An individual in an anti UCP group is openly gloating about being hired—with a “Forever Canadian” sign behind him.
Albertans deserve a neutral referendum. Period.
