17. Support for older adults by promoting new rural health care workers and new students who wish to pursue #healthcare professions in #rural and #remote communities initiative.
Did you know that more than 65% of people in rural Canada are over...65? yep. #Budget2024

16. Things that make me go ... #ageism and #blametheboomers ? I like the result. I am not fond on the implications of the narrative of younger people are being scr*wed by older generations by not giving them a 'fair chance'. Hm. I'm going to chalk it up to tenor and tone, but

15. Ensuring access to essential drugs and medical devices:

Vaccines too please. And insulin-related products. And ... and .... #health #vaccines #medical devices #accessibility #disease #patients

'To mitigate the effects of health product shortages and expedite emergency

14. Do people still say 'Booyah?' Probably not. But whatever happiness / fist pump / whahoooo you like for the #Caregiving step-forward. A 'Sectoral Table on the Care Economy' may sound ... mild... but we'll take it. And CanAge and Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence and other #caregiving

'Supporting Canadians in their access to justice with $440 million towards access to legal aid in the criminal

10. Heck yes. 'Recognizing the work of Volunteer Firefighters and Search and Rescue by doubling their tax credits'.

But you know what's better? Funding them and could do so via Disaster Relief and Climate interventions. Guess who is putting out the Forest Fires?

Still.

9. This one is a bit of a ponder - it's #Entrepreneurship but also #capitalgains exemptions. Could help #seniors or #multigenerational businesses. Will think on it but it's getting an 'kinda maybe' for helping some select #olderadults . #cdnpoli #Budget2024
