Not on track for seniors

Editor: The timing of our MP John Weston's latest 10 percenter (those little "promotional" pamphlets that Mr. Weston is so fond of sending out) extolling the efforts of the Conservatives on seniors' issues, couldn't be worse.

The timing of our MP John Weston's latest 10 percenter (those little "promotional" pamphlets that Mr. Weston is so fond of sending out) extolling the efforts of the Conservatives on seniors' issues, couldn't be worse.

With a cloud of doubt hanging over the future of pensions for seniors, the looming "budget of a thousand cuts," figures from Stats Canada indicating around 300,000 Canadians over the age of 65 live in poverty, the future of health care in jeopardy, and the widening gap between high income earners and the have nots, I would say anybody but the Conservatives are on the right track to help Canadian seniors.
