That, and the premiers who have actively eschewed this kind of thing for over a decade—including NDP premiers. John Horgan was adamantly opposed.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

“The situation is that millions of lower income Canadians don’t file their taxes, either because they don’t have the resources to do so, or because they think that their income is too low for it to matter, and that means too often that the people who most need benefits often don’t get them.” 💯👍

The latest update from the PMO. If I understand correctly, the CRA will automatically file taxes for lower income people to ensure they receive all of the government benefits they are entitled to. This is huge progress!
