According to the federal government, this year it’s seeing a 6.3-per cent increase, meaning families can receive up to $7,437 per child under the age of six, and up to $6,275 per child aged six through 17.

      Canada has a direct payment system for child allowances that’s issued monthly. There’s also a partial dental program up to the age of I think 16 years old. Canada had some great social service systems in place in the '60s and seventies but they were stripped away by the PC governments of the '80s. It’s good that they still look out for our next generation but that will also soon stop when they find a replacement for workers.

        The American plague is coming for them. I hope it doesn’t and they don’t adopt our shitty habits of fucking our citizens hard.

      I think it’s a straight up payment. I think it’s scaled for household income though.
