********************
I am a senior, aged 75, living in Orillia.
The government, no matter what party, has ever given me a honest answer to my emailed questions. I continually asked them: “What are you going to do to give our senior citizens a living pension?" After all, it's our money that you are controlling.
Trudeau (and the Liberals) told me what they have done in the past and that they will have a study in 2025.
The Conservatives tell me they will have a study.
The NDP tell me they think we are being short-changed and they will have a study.
Our RRSPs and RIFFs will not last foreve. We need our affordable, living pension NOW.
None of the parties have the compassion to help us and can’t wait for us to die, so they can put our pension into their coffers.
