We sure get second class citizen treatment! We have very low pensions if any, poor treatment in the health care sphere, and scudsey living circumstances at best! At least the folks in Canadian jails get three squares a day, clean uniforms to wear! Not so for us, we get welfare and no hope of change from a lacky U.S. govrn't ass-kissing bunch of bums in the Federal system, now taking three months off - some vacation! fully paid while the disabled dig in dumpsters if they can, beg from churches eat from food banks, and generally wear second hand or third hand rags donated by good Church going folk!When I was working these bastards took full share in taxes, now that I have a problem they shut the taps off! We need help! Remember you're one small slip away from being me, and vote accordingly - NDP seem to want to help? Will they "Turn-coat" once the taste power? Who knows. It looks very dark for us right now. Disabled Canadian here! We sure get second class citizen treatment!
