LETTER: Two classes of seniors and other P.E.I. letters
Two courses of seniors
Two weeks in the past, my neighbour got here by for a go to. Through the dialog, I discovered seniors aged 75 and over are getting a ten per cent enhance of their pension cheque. I ask why? That is the second time this has been executed for seniors 75 plus.
When is the federal government going to understand as soon as and all of us attain the age of 65 we’re all seniors? So, myself and different folks I’ve spoken to suppose there are two courses of seniors. Particularly, higher aged 75 plus and decrease 65-74.
I spoke with MP Sean Casey about this matter and his response was lots of people 75 plus are battling the elevated worth on meals, fuel, remedy, et cetera. My reply, “There are lots of folks 65 to 74 struggling additionally and many individuals beneath that age group as effectively. So, Mr. Casey, there are quite a lot of sad folks locally you signify.”
So please, Mr. Casey, if there are any extra {dollars} to be handed out, please be variety to all seniors and please keep in mind seniors’ age begins at 65! It might allow you to when the following election rolls round!

Schooling plan for single mother and father
I’ve an concept which may work. It is likely to be potential to have single mother and father who’re amassing a social service cheque each month to get a number of college levels.
You possibly can have 5 single mother and father who will go to college. They’ll take turns at minding or babysitting one another’s kids. One single father or mother will thoughts the opposite single mother and father’ kids on a Monday. The opposite mother and father will do the college work on that Monday. On Tuesday, one other single father or mother will thoughts the kids whereas the opposite mother and father do their college work. And so forth. A social employee would co-ordinate the entire program. Not one of the single mother and father needs to be compelled to take this system.
This program may assist with nursing and RCW shortages. The one mother and father would get a pupil mortgage after all from the federal government. This program will be executed throughout Canada or wherever persons are amassing social providers cheques or unemployment cheques. It will not value the taxpayers any more cash so far as taxes are involved.

Verdict places kids in danger
The well being and reproductive rights dynamics modified for nearly half the inhabitants of the USA after the Supreme Court docket, in a controversial ruling, overturned the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade choice and struck down 50 years of abortion rights.
This choice is a regressive step, taking away ladies’s rights to their our bodies. At the moment, not less than eight states within the U.S. have banned abortions, horrifyingly, a few of them with no exception to rape or incest.
Many consider this choice is an try to avoid wasting a baby’s life. Nonetheless, the identical verdict is placing many kids in danger. For instance, a 10-year-old rape sufferer in Ohio was denied an abortion and needed to journey to Indiana to terminate her being pregnant. In the meantime, the physician who carried out the process is below public scrutiny for solely performing his responsibility.
It’s outrageous that the 10-year-old not solely needed to endure by way of her trauma to turn out to be a topic of nationwide debate, however her story was known as fictitious and deemed a lie.
The system is busy saving the lives not even born but however has turned a blind eye in direction of making certain the lives of the younger women. The States should present a protected surroundings for all ages, not simply the fetuses.
