They are supplementing your pension until CPP and OAS kick in.  Most people are not able to retire at 50, is that fair?

correct bridge payments.  But among the haters who think a teacher gets 70% pay as pension for life is just wrong.

as for retiring at 50, if you put in 30 years good for you if you haven't then your pension will be shit

We know why he took a beating.  It was his stupid statements that he did not need the child tax credit cause he is rich and then gets not just one, but two tax payer nannies.  He only paid the second one after one quit and did not want to get a public backlash again.  Why doesn't he follow in Trump's footsteps and forgo his PM salary?  Blew through his inheritance did he.

As for Sophie, she tips the scale for being useless and I do not know what women looks up to her, certainly not my wife or any career woman who has worked and raised their kids themselves.

Probably true

I would take the pay as deserved - I think the feel good thing by not taking it is bullshit.  Any Million/Billionaire can do that...... What is accomplished?  the machine gets to spend it   The right thing to do is take it and give it away to some sort of charity or hug a dog thing.

It doesn't impress me at all

Just talking to a friend of mine who lost his job not long ago. He called asking if I knew anyone looking for a network architect. It seems that in the GTA rather than a year of EI payments like are paid for parental leave the unemployed are only entitled to 35 weeks of EI benefits. He also learned that if he claims CPP next month when he is 60 that will reduce his EI benefits about $85 a week. If he waits until he runs out of EI to claim CPP he doesn't get a reduction.  

He's been employed and paid into the system for 45 years and never collected until now. I guess it's better to be a refugee in Canada than someone who made a contribution to the economy for a lifetime. The refugee gets far more financial aid than the citizen.

Sunny ways.

nothing new here, same goes if you are on EI and get a day job , you claim that money and they take some off your EI payment.

Sames goes for pensions under the government, once you start to collect CPP and or OAS your pension is cut in half - fair?  not really but its the way it goes.

by the way the total amount of weeks you can collect depends on the jobless rate where you live,, so living in Toronto you get less weeks then living in Windsor

Truly painful. Is this part of why she believes she should have a salary and a second government paid assistant assigned to her.

The Trudeaus currently have two tax-funded nannies, a personal chef and Grégoire Trudeau does have one personal assistant. However, in an interview with a French newspaper she mentioned how overwhelmed she is feeling, with constant invitations to public speaking.

She told the newspaper she wants to attend all of them, and feels bad declining but just doesn’t have the current resources to handle a heavier workload.

although the house budget didn't change from the Previous PM he sure took a beating in the papers over the Nannies.  But of course you know he only has 1 nanny paid by the house budget and the other new one is paid for by Himself.

Most wives of the PM don't do anything, the Trudeau's made it clear that Gregoire will be doing more stuff similar to the First Lady.  Should she do more things or just do nothing that is the question

All in all the cost hasn't changed in decades its only a concern now

Why do you feel you have the ability to speak for veterans and what we want and what makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside? There are no words to describe how pathetic it is that you are using veterans as your reason to bash Trump when you don't give two fucks about the veterans since this is just some political attack. So kindly, shut the fuck up you piece of hypocritical know-nothing shit. You want to make this claim, you better be willing to get called the fuck out when actual veterans tell you to go fuck your self with a rake, twice, sideways... We don't need a bunch of hugs and praise, and we especially don't need some liberal hypocrite fuck stick using us for a political agenda. 

Cunt. 

Same goes for you. 

If you feel the President Elect can just sit at home watching the social i am okay with that and I don't care.   I set up a Remembrance Day event at work, networked a live stream to Ottawa and plus we had some attendees speak...  so ya I did my part sorry you feel the need to go off on me.  It won't stop me 

you should protest Veterans day if you feel so bad  about it, fact is its really not about you

Dumb as a stump you are Fail. Opening a new veterans office in Surrey and hiring some more staff pales in comparison to a $3.7B cut to the existing military. But hey your hero is fine with the current military using ancient equipment. 15 people to take care of 146 veterans each. Better than nothing I guess but still a drop in the financial budget hit to the current military.

not buying new ships and shit isn't really cutting the current men and women but go with that.  You defended every single cut Harper did now all of a sudden its a bad thing.

clueless

STILL WRONG FAIL is at it again

In the 2016 budget, the government lays out a plan to defer unallocated funds that cannot be spent due to unforeseen delays to current projects to future years ‘to ensure that funding is available when key capital acquisitions will be made’. In total, the government has removed $3.7 billion from DND’s budget for the 2015-2016 to 2020-2021 period.

The four pages dedicated to National Defence – out of the 269-page budget ­– are short on defence procurement details but clearly state that the proposed reallocation is not a budget cut. Re-profiling, deferment, budget freeze, reallocation, temporary budget cut – call it what you want, those funds won’t be available to spend on warships, aircraft or vehicles until 2022, or later.

Spin doctor says it isn't a $3.7B budget cut... it's a deferral until at least 2022. They must have attended the same school as Fail if that isn't a budget cut. $3.7 B less to spend is $3.7B less to spend. If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck it's a duck.

You have no idea what you are talking about

He said they plan to open a 10th office in Surrey, B.C., and said hundreds of staff have been hired across the country to lower wait times and improve service.

“Veterans deserve a level of service and the fact that the Conservatives cut those veterans service offices was a real shame, and indicative of a party that had lost its connection with Canadians and lost its sense of what’s actually important,” said Trudeau outside of the new office.

The former Veterans Affairs offices were closed as a cost-saving measure under the Harper government. In Sydney, protests were held to try to convince the Conservatives to reconsider the closure, and the Liberals promised to reverse it if they took power.

Ottawa said the new Sydney office will employ 15 staff who will serve approximately 2,200 veterans.

Trudeau was also expected to meet with veterans at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 128 in Sydney on Thursday.

I bash him cause he is a moron, I really don't care if he attends vets day or Gay Pride.  Nothing worse than putting on a face and pretending to be something you are not.

Attending services while cutting military funding is the true message he is sending.

lol he has reopened almost everything the previous leader closed - not sure what you are talking about.

You are a bad as these anti Trump guys here saying "what has he done so far" 

20 minutes ago, 02sled said:

So he didn't attend. Big deal. If he doesn't attend after taking office then get upset. In the mean time he likely has a list of things to do that would make the average persons head spin. On top of the transition planning and activities to become president he also has to hand off his corporate responsibilities and delegate those to so many others.

Seems I read about his more than generous efforts to save the New York Veterans Parade. Where were the Clintons and the Clinton foundation when the parade was poised to fail and not happen that year.

Otool he is in office as PRESIDENT ELECT wtf are you talking about?

25 minutes ago, Zambroski said:

Thank you.  But, not defending him....just not making a big freaking deal out of it...you know...like most don't.  I don't even personally know any veterans that attend anything on Veterans day.  Much less were just elected President being a 70 year old and a brutal non-stop fight to the finish.  Do you?  I think we can all cut him some slack.

So if all out war break outs you feel Trump will need a nap   sorry there is no excuse being leader of the FREE WORLD to quote you guys

A tweet is a message to the masses and that's what Trump did.  Should he have attended, sure but then some would be pissed at that.  I said PM Trudope should call to congratulate the next POTUS, not just tweet.  He did make the call, so its all good.  Now that Wynnebag should learn to keep her trap shut, suggesting Trump will be bad for Ontario, what a hypocrite, since there is nobody worse for Ontario than her.

Chill Wrong Way, go smoke one, or better yet, hope you bought some pot stocks, there flying high.

You bashed Trudeau for TWEETING period, "who does that" a 13 year old girl was your quote.  And you bashed him (JT)  for showing up on Veteran's Day as self indulgent.

Yes after being called worst thing from Trump, worse  than you and others call JT. He tweeted, made a speech on WE DAY and called him personally - nothing short of outstanding from our PM

Here's how this works though...as it has for the last 8 years with Obama.  Obama supporters didn't care what non-Obama supporters think of what he does or what he doesn't do.  And either did Obama.  So....well, you can do the rest.

Whew!....rub your hiney with some baby powder, but don't "Boggart" it, others need it here...share with them.  Some need to move up to some more serious stuff though....surgery may even be in their future.

you want to defend a President for not showing up on Veteran's day that is your right. 

make sure you are aware of what is  involved - BELL are douche bags when it comes to selling receivers 

get a clue guys NAC

Defending a President (elect) for not showing up on Veteran's Day is very telling - He or She will be the ones to send the next group of young to die.  There is no words to describe this - not showing up and defending them for not showing up

I get it sleepr you guys have made it clear - 

you win 02sled - women in work force is bad and costs money to the employer - giving them EI payments costs employers billions a year - giving a father 6 months is even more cost to an employer.
