Canada Pensions....

This was e-mailed to me this morning.



Only in Canada
* It is interesting to know that the federal Government of Canada allows :

• A monthly pension of : $1,890.00 to a simple refugee
• plus : 580.00 insocial aid

==========

• A grand total of : $2,470.00 monthly

X 12 months
==========
$28,920.00 annual income

·By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than :

• Amount/month $1,012.00 in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement

X 12 months
============
$12,144.00 annual income

• A difference of : $16,776.00 per year

* Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.

* Let us send this message to as many Canadians as possible, and maybe the allowance of refugee could then be reduced to $1,012.00, and that of our Canadian pensioners raised to $2,470.00 per month. (who actually deserve it) the money that they have been paying in income taxes for 40 or 50 years,
AN INCREDIBLE NONSENSE !!!
OUR CANADIAN SENIORS CITIZENS, DESERVE BETTER

As you note, those Canadian figures are the maximum.

Many seniors do not get the supplement because they have other income. As well, the basic pension (CPP) is based on contributions ,which are income based. Thus, most do not earn the maximum there either.

Funds appear to be unlimited for refugee claimants, foreign aid (to guess who?), peacekeeping for one-world orgs such as the UN, and human rights tribunals.
