RIIIIIIIGHT. You're a f-cking genius, all the world's geniuses are employed by Provincially funded recycling programs for SpEds.


Waste is a terrible thing to mind.

It must really twist your knickers that your getting pwned by a recycling sorter. I guess they're a notch or two above a farm hand.

Aspen bushland in pink, boreal to the north and Prairie is in the lower western half.



Clearly you mistaken and are embarrassed.

*hug*



Another? Maybe I'll cheap out and buy a townhouse like yours and park a 07 Civic out front and pretend I'm poor. Nah I can afford a detached single occupancy.

Just make sure it doesn't become fully detached.

Still no plan from Ford.


Ontario seniors to get $750 to help with home maintenance

Seniors who need help mowing their lawn — or washing their laundry — could receive up to $750 a year under a new fund to keep them living in their own homes longer.

“We are making targeted investments of $1 billion over three years in the new Seniors’ Healthy Home program,” Finance Minister Charles Sousa said in his Wednesday budget speech.

“We will provide up to $750 for every eligible household led by a senior 75 years or older, to help offset the costs of maintaining their home. This payment could be used to help pay for services such as snow shoveling, lawn care or house cleaning.”

“Our seniors have helped build the province we enjoy today,” Sousa also said. “We are deeply grateful to them.”

The program is expected to be in place by 2020, and details on what chores will be covered will be determined after consultations with seniors. The government will then build a list of eligible expenses and how they should be accounted for.

I wish I was a senior now.


5 promises for seniors in 2018 Ontario budget

1) The Seniors’ Health Home Program will provide a benefit of up to $750 annually for eligible households led by seniors 75 and over to help them live independently and offset the cost of maintaining their home.

2) More access to home and community health care services, including 2.8 million more hours of personal support with 284,000 more nursing visits. The $650-million investment will be made over three years.

3) Expanding Pharmacare with the OHIP+ program, prescription drugs will now be free for everyone 65 and over. The Ontario Drug Benefit annual deductible and copay will be eliminated – saving the average Ontario senior $240 annually.

4) The province is creating 30,000 new long-term care beds over the next 10 years –- adding 5,000 new beds by 2022.

5) The government is investing $300 million over three years starting with $50 million in 2018–19 to hire registered nurses in long‐term care homes and setting a goal of increasing the provincial average to four hours of daily care per resident by 2022.

I know that if I was a senior, I would be thanking (and be a little more considerate of) those that are filling the trough but that's just the way my generation is.

Can't be true because they're all 115 or something. I've just cracked my first beer so I'm nowhere near pissed enough to figure that out

A Little further down the keg and you should be just fine
;)
Say, about this drinking alone problem you have...

I wish I was a senior now.
Yes, but that will usually happen some time AFTER being a high school junior...

( Yes, I know you would like to do the usual lefty "change the dictionary meaning" thing here, but you have to learn what they say in them first before trying to make new better rules for yourselves!)


LOL "once a generation" around election time..about .01 % of the rise in expenses in a generation.
SO how long has dope been legal at liebarrel HQ?

$750.00 will cover one month's rent on a garden shed. Whatever "independence" that is supposed to offer a senior is pure propaganda.
