Exsqueese Me?


So to prop up the Canadian Liberal government, the Liberals entered into a deal with the New Democratic Party (NDP), the Socialist party in Canada.

The NDP, through their leader Jagmeet Singh, would keep the government alive if the Liberals agreed to certain conditions.


One of them was to give subsidized dental care to low income children under 12.

Now, by low income children under 12 I assume they mean low income families. Because back in the day, all my under 12 buddies and I were low income. Very low income.

But here's the kicker;

Under the NDP plan, anyone under 12 with a family income under $90,000 is eligible for subsidized dental care.


Yikes!  $90,000 is now considered low income?!

Where have I been for the last ten years?

Maybe Mr. Boffo can help.....
