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! 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. https://business.financialpost.com/personal-finance/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-enhanced-cpp-from-how-much-youll-pay-to-how-much-youll-get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/bank-of-canada-holds-interest-rate-drops-growth-forecast-for-2019-1.4392649 Edited April 24, 2019 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
