Taxpayer's Federation - petition
Calls for a massive overhaul of the MPs' pension plan are resonating, and not just with taxpayers but with MPs themselves.
For every dollar an MP contributes to the pension pool, the taxpayer pays $24.
This is the message of a five-city billboard campaign launched Wednesday by the Canadian Taxpayer Federation.
The billboards urge Canadians to text "TAX" to 212121 to sign a petition.
The billboards are in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Ottawa and Halifax.
"Taxpayers are fed up with footing the bill for pensions that are among the most lavish in Canada," CTF director Greg Thomas said. Rather than the 24-to-one ratio of the current system, the CTF wants a one-to-one ratio that places more of the burden for their pensions on the MPs themselves.
If you wish to sign the petition, here's the link: http://taxpayer.com/node/14387
Thanks Ralph ... not much incentive for your Prime Minister since he gets two pensions from what I understand

Flower Show ( I couldn't resist)
Two little old ladies, Dorace & Jackie were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress.
The short one, Jackie leaned over and said,
'Life is so boring. We never have any fun any more. For $10.00 I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid, boring flower show!'
'You're on!' said Dorace, holding up a $10.00 note.
So Jackie slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes and,completely naked, streaked (as fast as an old lady can) through the front door of the flower show.
Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause and shrill whistling.
Finally, the smiling Jackie came through the exit door surrounded by a cheering, clapping crowd.
'What happened?' asked her waiting friend.
'I won $1,000 as 1st prize for 'Best Dried Arrangement... !'
Life is short! Break the rules.
Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything that made you smile!
Thanks Norman

Dangers of pollution
"It is my sincerest wish to reach the hearts of the people of the world by my Keep America Beautiful film of 'The Crying Indian' so they will be more aware of the dangers of pollution facing the world today. If I have done that, then I have done all I need to do!" ~
