I read somewhere that Canadian homelessness is going to double within a few years, Senior Citizens will be the largest growing demographic.
The caste system that has destroyed so many of us. May those who enforced it face judgement and the same hell they unleashed on others.
The cost of living crisis is weighing heavily on many Canadians, and one P.E.I. senior is buckling under the strain.
David Turner, a 76-year-old, told CTV News (1) that he was forced to live in his car for the past two months due to "mounting debts" and unpaid rent. It isn’t the first time Turner has faced this type of devastating financial constraint, either. Early in 2024, Turner relied on emergency shelters when he faced a similar financial crisis.
“The cost of everything is just crazy,” Turner said, adding that, “Seniors are struggling because of the cost of living, the cost of rent, the lack of affordable housing.”
