I don’t benefit from the dental program or $10/day daycare
I don’t need the Canada Child Benefit & I already have coverage for diabetes medicine should I need it
I vote in favour of these things because it’s not just about me
Being Canadian means caring about all Canadians

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.
Neither do you.

A banana taped to a wall is not art, it's a joke. Paying $6.2 million for it is just showing off (& stupid)

Same!
As a Canadian senior I’m voting for our PROVEN PM who will protect our universal healthcare, affordable childcare, dental care, OAS, CPP, women’s rights, national security & the environment.
All Poilievre offers is instability, lies, and tax cuts for polluters.
