Comment on Quebec Consumer Protection Consultation by brian pacilli

Hello,
I’m wondering how an on line store can advertise best price in Quebec guaranteed or 10% off and then not honor it by saying that the on line store I found lower prices doesn’t have an outllet or offer services so he can’t give me the lowest price guarantee.

Give tax credits for purchase and installation of a new toilet that has a solid waste and a non solid waste water flush reducer.
Stop the right to water lawns seven days a week at any time of the day.
Give free shower water reduction heads to any interested consumer.

I don’t trust the government, they’ve dragged their heels way too long on this issue. This new premier claims she cares but has done nothing for 8 months since she first announced this increase. She cares more about taking her little girl to wal-mart shopping for a halloween costume than she does about those who struggle by existing on $ 1,188 a month. She’s all talk and no action. In the end she’s just like Kline and that other Rat Stelmach. She doesn’t have to worry, she’s got her million dollar pension to look after her. All these politicians are all alike; they hate poor people and the infirmed. Anyone that bothers to vote is a fool. None of these crooks ever do anything other than line their own pockets. AISH SUCKS ! always has, always will. Murders are treated much better in prison !

The economy has picked up and there’s more interest in people buying and selling these days. This seems to be the trend in Calgary. Like this site. Looking for ideas for my website to improve it myself.

I would like to comment on the amount of support paid by AISH. I have been on AISH for the better part of a decade, and for most of that time I have, just barely, been able to pay my living expenses by splitting them with a roommate.
Over the last couple of years, inflation has made my situation untenable. In the past I was able to scrape by on AISH; this is no longer the case. Now, each month, I am forced to choose between utility bills, rent, etc and food. Needless to say food does not come out on top. My roommate is severely diabetic, and requires a special diet. This has become next to impossible, as inflation steadily eats away the buying power of the already sub-poverty line AISH. A steady diet of Kraft dinner and Chinese noodles is not conducive to anyone’s health, especially not that of a diabetic.
As this trend continues, the cost to Alberta will be felt in the overburdened medical system. Surviving on AISH, with the societal stigmatization and dearth of any significant social life (even going to the occasional movie is beyond the means of most clients) compounds the stress of being handicapped.
The AISH rate must be raised. Not by twenty or thirty dollars, but by a significant amount. It should also be tied to the inflation rate, so that handicapped citizens are never again forced to choose between rent and food. Alberta’s most vulnerable citizens are in harm’s way. We need help.

Thank-you for listening.
