The Conservative Party

Dept: As a lifelong supporter of the Conservative party and an individual who anticipates being adversely impacted by such changes I regret that must to add my voice of displeasure to the growing masses. Frankly, it is just wrong to change the goal line for those of us at the 75-yard marker, according to The Star. I do understand the need for financial austerity and would therefore propose that we all share the pain. So let s start with the MPs. Today our MPs retirement entitlement is $40,000 per year at age 55 for a mere six years of service, this number jumps to $75,000 per year at 15 years of service and $150,000 a year for a cabinet minister. This works out to an unbelievable $23 in taxpayer contribution for every $1 of MP contribution and re: Delaying old age security a needless pain for poor, Feb. 1 Having paid into the system for the better part of 30 years I m sorry but, yes, I am entitled. Let s face it, at this late stage in the game for many of us it would be mathematically impossible for us to fill the gap with our time left in the workforce. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
