Refugees Are better off than Canadian Seniors
A single refugee receives from the Canadian Government a monthly allowance of $1,890.00, plus $580.00 in social assistance, a total of $2,470.00.
But a Canadian single pensioner receives only a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age Security Income and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
The Canadian Government is treating refugees more favourably than the country's senior citizens.
Is this fair?

Tuition fees

Between 2010 and 2030, one in five Americans will be aged 65 or older.
Today, about 13% of Americans, or 35 million people, are aged 65 and older. But between 2010 and 2030, this segment of the population is expected to swell to over 69 million, and one in five of us will be considered “elderly.” By 2050, the elderly population is projected to reach 79 million.
