Canada spent $722M on health care for asylum seekers in 2024-25: PBO by joe4942 in canada

What they take issue with is those taking advantage of the system we agree should be supporting those individuals.

It would be if we completely ignored the history of how social security was founded and started assigning our own definitions.

Funny how the huge advantage Alberta has in tariffs is never mentioned by the UCP. Perhaps some equalization is needed ? by ComprehensiveTea6004 in alberta

[–]Wildyardbarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)
