Affordability 'a top concern': Feds introduce grocery and essentials benefit
89Not trying to be a jerk. But what about the rest of us. Quit acting like those below the poverty line are the only ones hurting. Grocery stores are affecting everyone!

88Transit users are "low income"? I use transit, I'm not "low income", I use transit due to medical issues and I'm not low income. Don't be so quick to make assumptions.

74More of Carney's smoke and mirrors. The majority of Canadians in a two-income family don't qualify for GST rebates and won't qualify for the grocery benefit. Once again, the middle class gets taxed more to support everyone else. Affordability affects the middle class equally as well.

19Think about it, it doesn’t matter what people sign or say about the transit routes. The city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so and in turn will be saving money over the year with one less driver/bus. People who use the bus are low-income, so do you think they will actually change anything? Do you think all of a sudden the ridership will decrease? I don’t think so, and they are thinking the same way. If you do not like it, buy a car or ride a bike, which will not happen either. So people will continue to ride the bus.

10It's based on total income. Those that don't qualify, obviously make more money so you can afford groceries.

53Great, fantastic, turning cartwheels with all the excitement that once again because I don't have children I do not qualify for any governmental assistance. 50 years old and living off Mr Noodles like i did in my 20's, only back then it was 4 for a dollar. I would have thought with a 30years working I would be able to afford housing/rent and groceries but silly me, that's obviously not what our wonderful Liberal government thinks is important. Terry Sheehan is a pompous, incompetent, ignoramus without any social awareness. Read the room Terry, we're not doing OK.

35Ya bus driver takes that one down but what about all the band posters and rideshare posters that have been up for weeks.And i think the bus driver should be fired for door open.

33I think Sault transit needs to improve their training regiment. This could easily result in a large lawsuit if some child fell out, somewhat unbelievable.

41As a former bus driver, operating with the door open should be an IMMEDIATE termination. There's no excuse for that.

28Holy Boomer response. Some people just don't drive or have a license, some people prefer a greener option. Regardless of the reason, Acting like you're somehow better or more important is a gross look.

35A "benefit" that only 5% of Canadians get, while in only 3 flights Carney can bill hard working Canadians for $200,000 for luxury in flight meals. The Liberals are so out of touch with the rest of Canadians.

10Watch out you used logic and the entitled liberal types who believe they should always get their way no matter what are coming to tell you what a bad person you are.

3Kirby0162, then you have no issues riding the short bus since it is meant for medical. In turn, the routes do not affect you. I didn’t know people with money love riding a bus that is always dirty, even though it doesn’t make sense.

40I would argue that Affordability affects the middle class the most. The rich don't notice, the poor get subsidies and GST rebates.

Algoma Steel would supply material for land vehicles: Hanwha
18Where will Algoma get the steel since they haven't successfully made steel since shutting down the blast furnace?

39I used the bus regularly in 2017, as I could not drive for medical reasons. I was not "low income". There were other regular riders i observed, some heading to jobs. I spoke with some who admitted that while inconvenient the bus offered an affordable alternative to driving.
