Seniors have been anxiously awaiting the payment, after the federal government promised on May 12 to spend $2.5 billion sending theseThose who qualify for the Old Age Security benefit are eligible for a tax-free payment of $300, while those who receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement will get an additional $200.The 2.2 million seniors who qualify for both receive $500.Speaking outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa on Thursday, Trudeau said he hopes these funds make a difference.
In April the government initiated a one-time payment through the Goods and Services Tax, which delivered $375 to single seniors and $510 to senior couples. "That was announced some months ago and it’s going to take a long time," she said. "It’s good to have a date but seniors right now are really in need so the money can’t come soon enough."
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.
