Canada has more solo agers than almost any other country. Here’s what it’s like growing old alone

[shockedcanadian]

A soulless nation, no spiritual beliefs other than a Police State and striving to become part of the Government Class leaves people alone in their old age, wary of who to trust or selfishly securing their meager savings.

A sad reality in which the nation represents nothing and fades away into nothingness, remembers by no one, kneeling to their government overlords and covert agents for their lives while these evil government officials are driven to ensure your misery as it keeps citizens dependent and obedient.

Evil to their core.

Watch: Canada has more solo agers than almost any other country. Here’s what it’s like growing old alone

In a documentary now on thestar.com, filmmaker Jatinder Dhillon explores the lives of three Torontonians aging solo.

They’re known as “solo agers,” or sometimes “elder orphans.”
Across Canada, more people are aging without kids or kin than in almost any other country. A recent study found Canada ranked fourth, with roughly 1 in 10 older adults having no spouse or biological child.

Loneliness is a public health issue, as research has shown isolation can lead to debilitating physical and psychological conditions among older Canadians. But for many, as they age, social networks dwindle. Retirement disconnects coworkers. Friends, who are also aging, may grow ill or die.
Support usually falls to kin, but where there are no kin available, who is there to step in and help a senior maintain independence?

The greatest lesson here is to make our creator and Heavenly Father our best friend and to learn to put him first. Don't place your hopes in your spouse, children, friends, etc., as they may move on from you, something our Heavenly Father will never do.

Very well said, by the way.

No, it is to leave Canada when in your prime and pursue your goal, find a good mate in the U.S because you will kneel to the Creepy Ones and die alone when they violate your pursuits.

G-d will guide you better outside of Canada

The old in Canada should be concerned about Canada wanting to kill them off.

I had such an offer in university (and afterwards in life of course). A beautiful woman who drove a 911 and wanted to take the Shocked One for a drive too.

I didn't accept because my dignity and lack of confidence. Then when I graduated and wanted to pursue my dreams I learned of the Creepy Ones in my life. I have to wonder if she was really interested in me or just part of the apparatus. She wasn't the only one but she was the most out of my league in terms of net worth for sure.

You know when you meet someone of real wealth who unabashedly acts as if she has more wealth than everyone else? FWB was probably her pursuit but the Shocked One didn't capitulate. Perhaps to my regret, we'll never know
