Elbows up, pants down everybody.
Look forward to paying tons of taxes with benefits going to non canadians.
With the way our asylum system is abused, this is a terrible decision.

This is what the citizens of Halifax West voted for, despite knowing her and her family’s reputation. I assume they wanted her specifically because Liberals vote for their MP, not the party or PM. At least that’s what the Liberals on reddit tell us.

Liberals are losing points in this one
While millions of Canadians are unable to access public healthcare system they fund and pay for; plastic „refugees“ use our system without contributing to it…
Shame on all successive governments for allowing this! Not a single dollar should benefit to non-Citizens while at least 1 Canadian needs a house or healthcare
My opinion is that only people who contribute to Canadian taxes should get access to Canadian healthcare
Question: how would delinquent payments be handled? What would enforcement look like?
– I don’t think refugees have a lot of money- correct me if I’m wrong – so it’s an important question to ask.
– I think you’ll lose a lot of support at the enforcement end of this
Hasn’t this already effectively been done since the government is making them pay for healthcare now?
Of course it was. Not ideal in the slightest considering how rampant the abuse is.
Yeah, knew this was going to happen. Canadian citizens are third class citizens in their own country.
Everytime I start warming up to Carneys Liberals they pull stuff like this and reinforce my stance as a conservative supporter. Maybe next time.
They really want you to be angry at a couple dozen foreigners while they drop taxes for the people who are actually screwing you
These guys are getting coverage my wife and I have to shell out of pocket for.
Majority of these guys shouldn’t be here at all.
And before the online paladins start screaming I’m racist, I’m the same race as a lot of these false claimants.
I wish I could have some say where my income taxes are distributed.
So, what are ill asylum seekers supposed to do then? Curl up and die? That’s not what will happen.
I’d love to hear realistic options from the anti-refugee crowd. Difficultly: Don’t be ghoulish.
The only relevant economic news right now is that 1% of the Canadian population have more wealth than the bottom 80% combined, and their share is increasing rapidly. Any other report is merely a distraction from that fact. Everything else is shuffling deck chairs while the 1% commandeer the life boats.
Why can this happen? It is not right, the LPC knows it, and I don’t understand what I’m missing. I see way too many first hand comments about citizens and residents not getting access to basic health services. We all know folks or have family in the same situation. Can we not stop the corruption, fraud and abuse of our immigration system. It’s time to wake up and change government or at the very least their policies. Go to an emergency ward tonight as an observer or user and report back what you see.
Wow
Repeal the Singh Decision.
I find it interesting BC members here are vehemently defending refugees while Ontario gets most of them.
So more Indians? Got it.
Money for Ukraine, asylum seekers and even Cuba just not on canadians 🤣
Make sure to put on a big smile on when you pay your taxes this year! Except those with terrible dentals of course lol
Why the fuck am I paying taxes in Canada again?
If/when we allow asylum seekers into our country – we ought to treat them as people, not as animals.
Right, Canadians?
I think we need a re-evaluation of asylum seekers’ healthcare coverage.
Up until recently, the IFHP offered them free healthcare, prescription drugs, vision care, dental care, psychologists, physiotherapists, home care, etc; that’s something that most Canadians simply don’t have access to.
I guess they’ve changed it to them just having free healthcare, and a “modest co-pay” for the rest, but again, that’s still way better than what most Canadians are offered.
At this point we don’t need to be giving foreign aid to other countries. We spend so much in foreign aid within Canada itself.
I have no problem with refugees receiving provincial health benefits. We’ve all collectively agreed that those are rights.
But the benefits they’re receiving are better than not only every Canadian, they’re even more costly than what the military and RCMP are getting.
And they get more covered than what public servants get covered through the health insurance they pay for.
The standard should the same level of care of whichever province covers the least. If it’s good enough for those Canadians, then it’s good enough for those refugees.
There are 2 exceptions I could reasonably understand.
1) In the first few months, maybe they need some additional care. Fine. Go see a dentist, an optometrist and a psychologist to deal with the trauma. But after 6 months, time to get a job and pay for those services like everyone else in Canada.
2) I’m not that angry about children. If kids need to see an optometrist or a dentist, I’ll pay for that. Kids can’t control their circumstances. BUT we should be doing that for ALL Canadian children.
Just stating we have got changes already applied this year for cost savings. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/changes-ifhp.html

Message your MP how you feel if more is needed
I fully support the conservatives for this, they need to lower taxes with it
I wonder if wealthy canadians and CEOs of Canadian companies who pay minimal taxes, ever come to comment sections like these and laugh their asses off at us.
Everyone fighting over health care and housing when if we just taxed those with more than their fair share we wouldn’t have any problems. If we didn’t give the largest corporations tax break after tax break.
But keep fighting each other, fighting those with less than you, fighting those different than you.
Worked out great for our neighbours in the South.
Conservatives under Poilievre are just fault finders, they have no solutions to offer.
It’s like curing cancer with cyanide.
They’re mostly a holes that refused to fix anything when they had power. The CPC that is. They’re going all-in on MAGA style blaming immigrants for everything. Obviously the people using it, need health care, they’re not getting breast enlargements on the GOC dime. Being cheap, racist and mean is not a good plan to ever win unless the CPC just wants to capitulate to the USA VICHY style.
I’m sorry but there is a ton of fraud in the system. The Liberals are trying to gaslight on this but it’s bad. 25k were just approved alone without any security clearance or interview literally insane.
Almost a year after losing historical lead, Cons double down with toxic politics. None of their ideas are actually about making lives better for working class Canadians
I love how the media continues to refer to this as removing healthcare from asylum seekers when in reality it was only removing healthcare from people who had failed claims.
Meanwhile I’ve been struggling with a serious health issue and keep getting told it’s stress. But yeah keep paying those taxes, right.
The LPC hates the working people.
This is what your people wanted and voted for. As long as have step foot in your country regardless of status, they deserved health care. Such a generous country.
Our healthcare system is completely overwhelmed and due to it I am going to die laving behind two young children after trying to receive help for over two and a half years. I only got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer after 3 emergency room visits in a row where I had to lay on the floor for 8 hours in extreme pain on my final visit. I would not be in this situation if I was able to receive a CT scan when I first seeked help and just got passed around with no diagnostics. There is no accountability and Canadians are suffering due to how our taxes and healthcare are being managed.
Disgusting with the amount of taxes i pay…fucking morons who voted for these libs again. Fml seriously got to consider leaving canada for some more conservative coutry.
