HERE IS THE BILL THAT SOME SAY MEANS THAT WE ARE TO LOSE PENSIONS ETC. THIS IS A SENATE BILL INTRODUCED BY A SENATOR IN 2021. IT’S THE AGE OLD IDEA OF AN ANNUAL GUARANTEED INCOME.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS HAS NOT CONSIDERED IT. WITHOUT THE COMMONS THE BILL GOES NOWHERE. ——AND THE BILL ONLY TALKS OF LOOKING AT IT.
GIVEN THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY’S FINANCES IT IS UNLIKELY THIS HAS ANY LEGS.
AND EVEN IF A GOVT WERE TO CONSIDER IT NO GOVERNMENT WILL REDUCE WHAT 3 MILLION CANADIANS , VOTERS, ARE NOW GETTING ——-AND EVERY DAY MOERE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE ENTERING THE PENSIONABLE AGE. THERE ARE MORE CANADIANS OVER 65 THAN CANADIANS UNDER 14.
SOME PEOPLE DO NOT READ /RESEARCH BEFORE THEY ALARM —IF THEY DID THERE WOULD BE NO ALARM AND THAT WOULD BE ‘A SHAME.’
TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW LOW A PRIORITY , A SENATOR INTRODUCED IT 2021 AND IT IS STILL THERE.
