What is wrong with the people governing us?
It’s the Canadian thing to do 🤓
That’s alot of money that could be put to better use !
No more!
How many asylum seekers?
That’s it? Only $722M? Are they racist?
Morons.
>With IFHP beneficiaries required as of May 1 “to contribute a fixed-fee per prescription and a percentage of the cost of supplemental services,” the PBO predicts savings of $217 million annually by 2029-30.
>Under the co-pay, asylum seekers and resettled refugees now have to pay $4 for each eligible prescription and 30 per cent of the cost of all other eligible supplemental health products and services.
>The PBO also highlighted Bill C-12, which, if enacted, will reduce the number of claimants eligible for IFHP coverage and shorten the duration of benefits and also alter “intake and processing timelines.
„If enacted“? Hasn’t Bill C-12 has already been law for like two months now?
What is this even trying to make us think? We shouldn’t help assilum seakers? They always wanted to get insulin for their diabeties and finally got it cuz their country started getting bombed lmao
Edit: i see a response in notification but not here.
People faking needing asylum has nothing do do with helping them medically. Thats a related, but separate topic which is an issue. And one which I doubt ppl have polarized views on. The fact the title isnt on faking asylum claims just makes it more polarizing for the sake of engagement.
Correction: Canada spent $200 million on legitimate asylum seekers and $522 million on people making fraudulent claims in an attempt to bypass the immigration system.
Also interesting how nowhere in the article do they mention how the [cited PBO report](https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/RP-2627-005-C–reviewing-administrative-fiscal-impacts-interim-federal-health-program–examen-repercussions-administratives-financieres-programme-federal-sante-interimaire) also showed how much asylum seekers pay in taxes (Figure 4). Which also has a section that explicitly states:
>This section examines the contribution of asylum seekers and refugees to federal and provincial tax revenues. PBO used Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) to estimate total taxes paid by a subset of identifiable taxpayers who are eligible for the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). This group consists of non‑permanent residents with a refugee claim who are not in Canada under a “Special Program” that may otherwise exempt them from IFHP eligibility.
>Because the IMDB is based on profiles of individuals filing taxes, the estimates presented here may underestimate total federal and provincial taxes paid by asylum seekers and refugees who are also IFHP eligible, for example due to individuals who are working but are not filing taxes.
As someone who’s been waiting in an emergency room for 8 hours with immense pain, this makes my blood boil. And it should make yours too.
Thank everyone who ever voted Liberal.
So I guess nobody here understands that most of these people have jobs and pay tax?
Remember many of these asylum seekers hate you and your family, they have opposing religions, do not accept LGBTQ rights, and have cultures that do not allow women to work or even really be outside of the house. You pay for this, this is what you support with your tax dollars. You can say you are a nice person online all you want, but every time you pay a tax, it largely goes to people that oppose your way of life

We cannot be the world’s heroes anymore.
Our country is severely in debt, our own people are homeless, starving and without healthcare.
Enough is enough.
The sad thing is, most Canadians were either too gutless to say anything aloud OR they genuinely supported all of Trudeau’s immigration policies!
Noooooooooooooo
Fuck sakes
And if this weren’t bad enough, consider whether or not this money actually went to Asylum seekers at all.
…and millions of Canadians can’t find a doctor.
Just to add some info
Asylum seekers do pay taxes especially asylum seekers who have work as they need to pay provincial and federal income tax
722million is about 0.12% of the entire federal budget each year.
This isn’t about whether I support or don’t support Canada paying for health care towards asylum seekers
Low key this hurts as a person who is working a full time job who doesn’t have a family doctor. I guess my taxes are contributing to the global welfare system we have.
Yet, the Left supports this.
The right sure as fuck doesn’t lol.
Remember everyone, they treat asylum claimers better than Canadians. They pay them just to be here with money meant for us. They have better benefits and quality of life than your average citizen because we fund it all.
Just send them all back.
