For those on assistance whose disability means they cannot work at all to supplement their income, a $50 a month increase means an "hourly" increase of approximately .31 cents based on a forty hour workweek of 4 weeks in that month.

How nice.

Contrast this with the proclamation of our Prime Minister this week who stated that a rise in public anger is because of global elites, and warning that " low wages and the shift to precarious part-time work is at the heart of why citizens are opposing traditional powers."

Perhaps PM Trudeau, you should be casting your gaze much closer to home. Instead of finger wagging on the world stage, have a look at how our political elite here in Canada treat the unfortunate.

Fair play starts at home.
