Original caption

The truth hurts. $900 million more gone while Canadians can’t afford groceries, rent is out of control, and our healthcare system is collapsing. Over $26 Billion sent overseas since 2022. When do WE become the priority? When are any of these politicians gonna finally stand up and do what’s right? Stop being a bunch of scared babies. I could do your job in my sleep. . . . . . . #FixHomeFirst #CanadianPolitics #AffordableCanada #Canada #cdnpoli
