It makes the people they’re helping feel like hating on minorities is just the price they need to pay for government support. The Conservatives are taking advantage of the poor situation of these people, and their desperation, to ram through regressive social policy. It’s devious and dangerous, and I hope they get permanently removed from the political discussion.
You could argue the NDP has a lot of meaningful changes that could boost that demographic, in my experience social media has them tricked into thinking its other poor people or their natural fate keeping them poor, not the exploitatative practices of corporations and oligarchs.
