Seniors in Canada have been disrespected for too long. Both Conservatives and Liberals have failed them—pushing cuts, clawbacks, and neglecting their needs. With rising costs, pensions are eroded while billionaires get tax breaks. Clawbacks must end, and we will fix it by prioritizing dignity, security, and real financial support for seniors. #election2025 #canpoli #cdnpoli #seniors #ndp #portmoody #coquitlam

And yes, #accessibility is a reason for choosing a #tablet over a #phablet:

Espechally #seniors who have trouble seeing do enjoy the fact that most #Android #Apps are just heing displayed bigger and they have less trouble using any on-screen keyboard.

Plus they may already have gotten their hearing aid or audio setup connected to said tablet for media consumption so it's less fiddly for them!

All #SeniorCitizens like me (I'm 75 this year) are not addled or infirm but thanks for offering your help to help those who may be.

I know how to access the #SSA website & receive notices from them periodically, including the recent notice of the 40% increase in my #SocialSecurityBenefits plus a nice lump sum payment for past due benefits that I just received due to the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act (#SSFA).

@ddmgmgh Look what's going on in #Alberta - #Poilievre's template for the entire country.

Former PM Stephen Harper - "A man diametrically opposed to the concept of defined pension benefit plans for public sector workers is now responsible for managing the investments of 375,000 Alberta pensioners."

To be clear, Poilievre's mentor built his political career campaigning against pensions.

#Commercesecretary #HowardLutnick suggested this week that only "fraudsters" would complain about missing a monthly #SocialSecurity check, and that most people wouldn't mind if the government simply skipped a payment

Requiring people to show up to #SSI offices starting 31 March 2025, won't work for many disabled and seniors, esp. since many offices are CLOSING!

#USAFascistShitShow #FIGHTBACK

Where are the protests to stop #DOGE, Trump nd #AdolphMusk from interfering with #SocialSecurity?

Don't American activists have #seniors or #disabledpeople in their lives?
