OAS & CPP

Similar emails have gone around before—but some interesting points to consider given how our population is aging in Canada and Ontario.

The writer makes some valid points in this justified rant

Has democracy betrayed fundamental human rights in Canada? We need cultural revolution in Canada !!!!!!


POLITICIANS PAY ATTENTION!


The Harper government is saying that at this moment they cannot afford
to make changes to the CPP. They are also saying that seniors will
have to start paying for meds and health care after age 65 because of
the strain on the system. I think that it is time that we let him
know what we think.....


CANADA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children
going to bed hungry, hospitals being closed, average income families
who can't afford dental care, elderly going without 'needed' meds and
having to travel 100's of miles for medical care with no reimbursement
of cost, vehicles we can't afford gas for, lack of affordable housing,
and mentally ill without treatment, etc., etc.

YET.....
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti, ships and planes lining
up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical
supplies.

What the HELL's wrong with us???

WAKE UP CANADA !!!!

Someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with all the people that run
this country! We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans,
Orphans, Homeless, etc. But we spent 1.2 billions of dollars for G-20
events! In the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile
, and Turkey, as well as Khazakistan , Pakistan, and all the others -
literally, BILLIONS of OUR dollars!! Imagine if the GOVERNMENT gave
'US' the same support they give to other countries.

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do
they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations
pour hundreds of millions of dollars and tons of food into Foreign
Countries! They call Old Age Security and Healthcare an entitlement
even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives
and now when it's time for US to collect, the government is running out
of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my Old Age Security and CPP!!!!
Just because THEY borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some
kind of charity or handout! Gold plated MP pensions and Civil Service
Government benefits, a.k.a. free healthcare, outrageous retirement
packages, 67 paid holidays, 20 weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid
sick days --- now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call me a
'greedy senior' and my retirement, an entitlement.

Sad isn't it?

Lets hope it creates awareness! DO YOUR PART!

Things will only change is when this kind of email translates into
voting results at the polls. As of today, seniors out number ANY
OTHER type of voter even by race, religion, or age. WHEN ARE SENIORS
going wake up and understand WE have the POWER to shape legislation?
All WE need is the will power to do so!

PLEASE SEND THIS BACK AROUND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS MAYBE THEN THE "GREY
REVOLUTION" will begin. FORWARDING THIS TO EVERYBODY !!!

99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm one of the 1% who will.
