No. But he still pandered mostly to older voters. And it's not just me saying this. Here's Harper's economic advisor Sean Speer:
And that spending disproportionately benefited old people. From things like the "grocery rebate" to dental care that launched with old folks. And of course, there's the most ridiculous policy where child benefits get clawed back at family income of $46k while OAS doesn't get clawed back till an individual income of $90k.
But that's just federal. We give seniors tax breaks and discounts at every level of government and society. What's magical about age 65 that you need cheaper bus fare compared a struggling 22 yr old college student?
Back on topic, I see whining about why can't teachers do XYZ and why can't school boards offer up ABC? And for all that talk about young people not volunteering enough where's the pledge here to lead by example with time and money?
