That's just wrong,,,bet there's people who don't need it are getting cheques!!🤬🤬

It will never come

So you think 300 is enough to back pay us since March and continue to help us through this virus. You obviously dont shop or live in the real world

Are you waiting for them to die from the virus? Pay them now they need food, shelter and medicine. Get real!!

Because Baron Handsy Von Blackface™ is otherwise really super busy just now working to get Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor released from China.

So 98% of all deaths in Canada will have to wait for the aid payment.

Any aid given internationally before this date?

What country will seniors have to move to for Justin to send a cheque ?

No surprise there! Shameful!

Seniors.. if you want or need something .. BOOST IT .. you’re not in Kansas anymore..

That's disgusting! They were very quick to roll out CERB and other financial help. Our seniors needed help yesterday!

Unlike seniors 60-65 that get nothing. Want to tell us why? cdnpoli

Covid aid For what? Because they are old Because they vote for TrudeauMustGo

He’s just waiting for more of them to die so he can dial back the payment amount.

And cannabis owners don't wait at all

when are the disabled going to be included? we live in the same world you do!!

This is the aid payment they never needed in the first place, right? I'm sure they'll be fine.

Just like the government to make vulnerable ppl wait for help while everyone else got funds right away

Bullshit

Did the printer break!?!?!?

Absolute failure from the Liberals again to our Elders. How many criminals receiving CERB?

Of course. So Trudeau can announce and re announce his previous announcements of announcements that will be reannounced.

Some seniors already received their $$. Can you ever get your facts straight before posting?

Trudeau said fuck the seniors they can wait.

Seniors' one-time COVID-19 payment due to arrive week of July 6Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the one-time payment of up to $500 for seniors to offset additional costs from COVID-19 will be delivered the week of July 6. One finally dealt with. Now how about the 'supposed' changes to the CEBA loan? Will that ever come into effect or is it just more empty promises? Oohhhh, I wonder how many cans of second rate tuna you can buy for $300 And what about the rest of us on CPP? The permanently disabled? Ignored and forgotten, yet our cost of living expenses have also increased exponentially. We have gotten nothing, and can't apply for anything. Why are we always the most discriminated against CanadianPM ?
