THE PRICE OF PIERRE
****************************************************************************************************
Pierre Poilievre will slash the services you rely on so he can give tax breaks and handouts to his billionaire buddies.
How much will his cuts cost you?
Let's break it down.
New Democrats secured and strengthened
Conservatives want to cut and gut:
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: FREE BIRTH CONTROL
It'll cost you: up to $300/yearPierre Poilievre will cut access to free birth control, restricting your reproductive rights and costing you more every month.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: FREE DIABETES MEDICATIONS AND DEVICES
It'll cost you: up to $1,700/yearPierre Poilievre will cut access to free diabetes medications and devices, putting millions of lives at risk. If this program is cut, people living with diabetes could pay hundreds per year for the medications they need to survive.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: FREE UNIVERSAL PUBLIC HEALTH CARE
It'll cost you: up to $229,000/yearPierre Poilievre will cut funding and access to our universal health care system. Your out-of-pocket health care expenses will skyrocket. He voted against increasing health care transfers to provinces and territories, he voted against stopping for-profit health care in Canada, and now, he's having secret meetings with for-profit health care investors. US-style, for-profit health care could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: $10-a-day Childcare
It'll cost you: $8,500/year on averagePierre Poilievre will cut $10-a-day childcare. It will cost you and make it harder for you to access quality, affordable care for your child.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: DENTAL CARE
It'll cost you: $1,700/yearPierre Poilievre will cut the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP), making you pay out-of-pocket just to get your teeth looked after. Dental care is health care. Without this program, you could pay the price for your dental care.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: SENIORS' BENEFITS
It'll cost you: up to $17,464/yearPierre Poilievre supported Harper raising the retirement age from 65 to 67, forcing low-income seniors to work an additional 2 years. He’ll make cuts to the Old Age Security Program, leaving seniors who have worked their whole lives hung out to dry.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: MORE HOMES, FASTER
It'll cost you: relief from the housing crisisPierre Poilievre has vowed to cut the Housing Accelerator Fund - a fund that helps municipalities build more homes, faster. Poilievre even barred his MPs from accessing the fund for their communities, putting political points over homes for people.
✂️CONSERVATIVE CUT: Free School Lunches For Your Kids
It'll cost you: up to $400 per child/yearPierre Poilievre will cut the National School Food Program, costing you and your family. In fact, the last Conservative government said it's not their job "to feed my neighbour's child."
Pierre Poilievre is just like every Conservative before him: he'll cut from you to give more to the ultra-rich. For-profit health care, out-of-pocket costs for medications, and weaker supports for you and your family.
