I wonder what the author of this article is thinking It 's all set for them.
For the family of 6 in this article, with Federal child tax benefit & Ontario work program benefits they will be entitled the following(rounding up in this case):
1) 6000 x 4 = 24,000 per year tax free
2) 720 x 6 = 4320 per month(welfare allowance)
3) Low income housing subsidy or almost free rental & utility if they live in social housing. The chance is great for them since they are ahead of the queue.
4) subsidized/free public transportation for entire family
5) Free dental care, drug & glass prescriptions.
6) Electricity subsidy from Ontario government.
7) Free university or college tuition.
8) Free food at local foodbank & Halal food at local mosque.
I wonder if our old senior & needy citizens have the benefits as theirs.
BTW, they are all paid for by Canadian tax payers even though Federal & Ontario Liberal parties take credits for all of the above.
