How skewed are the priorities in Canada budget debate
MP Bob Zimmer and Prime Minister Stephen Harper defend a budget that raises Old Age Security age to 67 and cuts retirement benefits up to 30 000 for low income seniors. Critics say no financial analysis supports the plan while environmental Aboriginal and welfare funding are slashed. They accuse the budget of ideological cuts and misaligned priorities.

95th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge
To mark the 95th anniversary on April 9, Canadian soldiers secured Vimy Ridge after Allied failures. The battle boosted Canada’s status as an independent force and helped earn a separate signature on the Versailles Peace Treaty. Operation Legacy members will donate documentaries to local libraries and promote Canada’s military heritage via War Amps.
