Show Notes
Surging global oil prices, following a U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, threaten to push many Northwest Territories seniors into poverty. Karen Willy, executive director of the Northwest Territories Seniors Society, warns of tough choices between heating fuel, food, and medications. The territorial government has bought most of its winter fuel resupply, but expects higher bills on the rest. The Northwest Territories Power Corporation also warns of potential electricity rate adjustments due to prolonged high diesel prices. Willy urges expanding heating subsidies to help seniors cope.
