Three years and they did the bare minimum.
My wife is a diabetic and has seen 0 benefits from pharmacare, my medication isn't covered and won't be anytime soon, dental is a joke, poor people need money to save for a savings account to matter, childcare is spotty at best, tax breaks help no one because taxes fund infrastructure, the school foods program is great however it is also not universal.
They had three years and did the bare minimum, and it was barely because of the NDP.
All these complaints about the delivery of these programs are on the provinces. They are the ones who administer it, so that's their fault but people don't seem to be getting that through their thick ass skulls and instead hear Pierre talk about how more spending on these things is what's making everything more expensive and they're buying it. Pharmacare is something that has just been getting going and being signed onto in various provinces within the last year, dental care has now been expanded to all those households that make 90K after taxes IF their province has agreed to the program.
Because that's how Canada works at its core, it is run by the provinces in almost every facet of your daily life. And the federal government is there to fund and protect them and the environment and handle indigenous relations... This is a very serious disconnect in how the people of this country think it functions.
No the complaints are straight at the feds here as the programs aren't easily administered, and to be frank, you can take the Pierre talk elsewhere because I don't listen to that jerk off and think for myself. I use my own eyes to watch the circus (ourcommons.ca @parlvu) and I read the bills proposed. Assuming that because I understand the programs are basically fucking worthless and I expect far more from a Government who could have passed literally anything else and do it much better I must be listening to Pierre or ignorant of how Canadian politics work is asinine.
Then I see you are a month old account and I am not at all shocked. We are done here.
