1. How many non-government employees have defined benefit pensions in Canada?

Do trades people like plumbers and electricians have unions with pensions?

[Bev54]

3. Yes, unions, government employees, banks and most large businesses.

[Hiawatha Pete]

4. Yes, thank you

6. Not just private defined benefit plans, our Canadian govt old age pension too:

And yeah, people who put raising a kid, caring for their elder parents and providing for their family over their own financial gain should be punished and have to eat cat food out of garbage bins when they retire, right?


Doesn't matter, defined benefit or not.

If people paid into it their whole working life, it's theirs.

Whether they worked in a private or public company, they made plans accordingly knowing it would be there for them and the fucking cons should keep their slimy hands off.

I will not sit idly by and let a con government fuck with our pensions (or our heathcare) and I will exercise my Charter Right to free speech as long as I have it.

And any party who advocates for pension cuts, or enables that by voting with a CON govt in parliament, can go fuck themselves too.

2. There is a lot of things the conservatives would kill

including our medical, women's freedom, supply management for our dairy and poultry industries, which would mean corporate processors taking over and putting family farms out of business, and leaving our food chain controlled by international industry giants. This party is so offensive, I just cannot understand why anyone would vote for them.
