Based on a Green sympathy vote. Majority if the Green party leader and his son didn't unfortunately pass.

It’s unclear who created the letters, which contain grammatical and spelling mistakes and were shared on Facebook and Twitter. The association does not appear to have a website and could not be reached for comment. A politician who attended the inauguration declined to share the contact information of the people who invited him.

 

from Trudeau's workplace :lol:

Poor Trail. Trudope and the Liberal ship are sinking fast! :lol:

I have no issues Trudeau has done more for us than any PM in recent decades

Prohibition stopped - saving on courts plus taxes on POT = huge deal for Canada unlike any other 

15k extra when I turn 65 

 

You can say its all bad NEWONEWAY but I see it as different

 

When Trudeau wins again what will you do?  Federal and Provincial are usually opposites but you didn't know that did  you

:dunno:  what does that have to do with things?  

You should be retired this year if you have enough time saved?  

 

15k thanks for coming out

:lol:It has everything to do with things. You're on here spouting like everyone is in for a 15K windfall thanks to the Liberals but that simply isn't true unless you plan on working until 2065............... Nice try! :news:

The full increase in retirement benefits of 33 per cent to 52 per cent over current levels – the exact increase depends on your income – will be available to new retirees in 2065.

People just entering the work force will be the main beneficiaries of the improvements to the CPP. But how will CPP reform affect people retiring in five years? “It’s virtually meaningless,” said Doug Runchey of DR Pensions Consulting. “It might give them five bucks a month extra, and that’s about it.”

The improved CPP doesn’t hit its stride until 2065, which raises a question of fairness for people who retire well before then and yet will pay higher contributions immediately.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/personal-finance/article-cpp-improvements-start-in-2019-how-much-more-youll-pay-and-how-much/

 

The full enhancement won’t occur until 2065, so the impact is most dramatic for young people starting their careers. But CPP is still less generous than Social Security in the United States, which replaces roughly 40 per cent of income for the average American, with contributions on earned income up to US$132,900. Employee contribution rates of 6.2 per cent are also higher than Canada’s previous 4.95 per cent rate. The enhanced CPP only starts to bridge this gap, Hector says.

Fail is likely referring to OAS and Harper's decision to move the age to 67 from 65.  A move most agree with since people are living much longer.  A system that was designed and formulated when the average life expectancy was 75 vs now when it is 84, something has to change/give.

Ah, maybe, but your guess is as good as mine, especially when Fail fails to mention what this so called, 15 K, is all about?

Bank of Canada holds interest rate, drops growth forecast for 2019

The bank also cut its 2019 growth forecast, a number weighed down by its prediction the economy nearly ground to a halt at the start of the year.

 

The soft patch, which was more severe than the bank anticipated in January, was largely caused by a drop in oil prices and unexpectedly weak numbers for investment and exports. It also underlined how weaker-than-expected housing and consumption bogged down the economy.

The negative effects have spilled into 2019, said the bank, which also released its latest quarterly projections Wednesday.

The bank is now predicting growth in real gross domestic product of 1.2 per cent for 2019, down from its January forecast of 1.7 per cent. It also projected growth at an annualized rate of just 0.3 per cent in the first three months of 2019.
