Unfortunately in Canada today, there are a growing number of cases that involve pension fraud. Either cases involving people that never lived in the Country collecting old age pension, or of people that have been deceased still collecting cheques in their name. This appalling occurance costs the Federal Governtment and the taxpayer Millions of dollars and saps from the bluecollar worker in the name of C.P.P. What would happen if the Canadian Government double and triple checked their files and found 1% of these unreported cases. Would the cost of administration for this recheck, outweigh the amount that is essentially stolen from the taxpayer? Even still, wouldn't the salaries of these administrators justify this course? and, wouldn't a few bad apples being set as an example of such cases being found, serve as a strong enough deterent to offenders (or future offenders). This may seem to be a modest crime, however, what do you tell a five year old in Portugal, or England, should they ask their parents, where does our money come from (should Mom and Dad not be employed)? Are we supposed to lie to our children when it comes to their innocence?
In the Canadian economy today, we see roughly half of all Canadians living paycheck to paycheck. When I was growing up, I always thought to live in adulthood in the workforce, as most of my peers. Today, I live paycheck to paycheck like that of roughly half of all Canadians. This statistic could radically change with legal pre-emp done from the Federal level. First off; Double check C.P.P frauds that have been committed in the last 10 years. 2) Tax each private sector union an additional 1% from their pension funds, and recalculate that 1% using a variance of time (ie. 20 years after the fact as opposed to 10 years). 3) Increase foreign investment into the Country by 1% by lowering Canadian Bank Rates Worldwide to stimulate the economy as this increases goodwill of trade with Canada and looks favourable amongst 'poor' Nations. The logic here is that, should you be starving in China, or Ethiopia, why should you care in the least of a wealthy Canada, when the only people from your Nations that are able to do business with Canada are the financially secure?
In other words, let's play it straight and stop conniving to get results. As, people worldwide that have respected our great Nation to this time, may not in the future.
