Pt3189 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 She has about 3 months of tweeting left. Some of the head shots the Sun have been using of her are downright frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't so much that the plans are underfunded as much as piss poorly invested. These plans need to make 7.5%/yr to tread water and stay afloat, they aren't making that unless they're exposed to risk and equities and certainly not in fixed income. These plans are going the way of the dinosaur to the better Defined Contribution. Someone who is 25 years old should have a different strategy from someone who is 64. As an business owner you can opt for a similar IPP (individual pension plan) where the company foots the bill for any shortfalls from the 7.5% target. Imagine a 3 million investment that only earns 3%, the company would need to cover 4% (120K) shortfall from cash flow. A much better plan for owners is a PPP (personal pension plan) which has the flexibility to be a DB, DC and even has an AVC component. But since most institutions don't offer it, they try to steer you into an IPP and say its better. Personally, I like the RRSP the most.

Shortfalls are projected losses up to 40 years down the road, right now 97% fully funded. The Employee is responsible for shortfalls too, our contributions go up to cover losses like it did (50%) since 2008 It is really sad how many people think our pension are one FREE and GOLDEN simply not the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personality differences aside, Wynne’s pledge to care is also easy to refute. Ford just has to say that the reason people need someone to care for them is because of the mismanagement of successive Liberal governments. In effect, Wynne is running against herself – if the government cares so much, why is it only caring now? Where has it been the last 15 years? Answer: presiding over skyrocketing hydro rates, rising tax burden, and overcrowded hospitals. The talking points on this are absurdly easy. The Liberals had a chance to do a lot of caring in that time, but instead wasted billions of dollars on cancelled gas plants and overpriced green energy contracts. They capitulated in contract negotiations with public sector employees to curry favour with the union vote. They spawned a series of scandals, from eHealth to ORNG to party fundraising, which further eroded public trust – and which belie their new “caring” approach. People are way too tired of Wyneebags condescending attitude.... we can waste your money much better than you can.... we know what you need better than you do. We can sing this to Wynnebag. Altogether now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
