Sirs;
Stripped to its bare bones, this editorial calls upon
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to blow a massive hole in the Federal budget in
order to aid Kathleen Wynne’s re-election effort.
If Flaherty were to do as you want, Lynne would take the
credit as having forced the heartless Conservatives to do the right thing.
You skate past the fact that what Lynne wants is a massive
transfer of wealth from the young to the old and foolish, people who never
saved for their retirement. But even the old and rich would be given
money from the young because they too were forced to contribute to the CPP when
they worked.
Charity is not Kathleen Wynne’s motivation.
Re-election is. The CPP issue from her is a red herring. The CPP is
not provincial business.
If you want to be charitable, think of today’s young who
have mortgages, who have children in school, and who have their own retirement
to save for.
