link to manitoba income assistance rates. Which is what the refugee income is based on.
2 adults 3 kids is $3k+. If the average refugee family is 4-5 children plus 2 adults $3600 will fall in line with the rates charted. The rates do vary province to province.
Remember that is a TAX FREE income.
I have no issue with refugees, these people come from a shit show of a country right now but the fact we have people living essentially in dirt, and refugee’s get this much financial aid over our own citizens is just wrong. I’m all down for helping people, but get some god damn priorities.
