Really? a 66k maple syrup dollar pension is somehow outrageous? is this a joke?
-
It kinda is, most of the people where I work (manufacturing) make significantly less than that. However, it's even more outrageous that a career leech can produce absolutely nothing for his entire life and get a $200K pension.

The fact that they're even going down this path, vilifying people's pensions is fucking disgusting. As if a pension should be some sort of a luxury. This should be used to clap straight back at PP in the form of standing up for more people to have pensions, not fewer.

There's a political concept south of the border called IOKIYAR (It's okay if you are a Republican).
The same is at play here: corruption? It's okay if you're a conservative. Wasting public finds? Okay if you're a conservative? Drawing a pension? Being a shameless hypocrite? You get the idea.

A calculation of Poilievre's House of Commons pension indicates that he could draw more than $230,000 annually once he turns 65. That figure could grow considerably if Poilievre becomes prime minister following the next federal election.
If Singh qualifies for his pension, he could draw more than $66,000 annually starting at age 65, the same estimates suggest.
He estimated the current lifetime value of Poilievre's pension at $1.75 million, assuming he leaves politics after this year, starts collecting his pension at 65 and lives until 82 — the average life expectancy in Canada. According to Trivedi's math, Singh's lifetime pension is worth an estimated present-day value of $502,000.

Poilievre is a little piss baby.

You think people who are undecided about voting for me check that?
Poilievre

Do you think that if they did, they'd care?

The undecided ones? Probably. People usually have some hope they're finally going to find an honest politician (but no attention span for what that would actually look like). Plus, I'm a cynical activist, I've seen the sausage being made, and even I find it repulsive he's moving from spin and weasel words to straight up lies and open hypocrisy.
Hard core supporters might simply be glad he's doing whatever it takes to win, but that was always a given.

The “sell-out” Singh rhetoric irks me so much. It’s such a stupid fabricated story that somehow Jagmeet Sign was holding up the government solely to get 66,000 a year 25 years from now is so ludicrous.

Canadian trump supporters or conservatives as they call themselves are misogynists, white supremacists, fascists, racists and assholes. They are led by a pathetic mediocre man who wants trump's project 2025 in Canada. I would like to see our next PM decided by cage match, winner take all.

Sorry, how much is PP's net worth? Working a government job? And having earned his pension in his 30's?
Pot. Kettle. Black.
