I had a great chat with the guy who fixes my outboard motors one time.
"Fucking old people come over here from India and start collection Canada Pension. What's that all about then?"
"No, CPP is contributory. They can't draw a cent unless they paid into it."
"Yeah, but they get Old Age Security. Everyone gets that."
"No, you have to have lived here for at least 10 years...and closer to 40 years.. to get that."
"Oh. But there's that...what....$30,000 each that they give them to resettle."
"No, that was a one-time deal for a limited number of Syrians. It's about $25,000 per family."
"Oh. But..."
And it just goes on like that. And we scratch our heads when they vote PC out of 'respect for tax payers'.
