Why do billionaire executives need defined benefit pension plans (and gold plated medical plans) while ordinary citizens do not?

If defined contribution plans are the Canadian norm – why aren’t defined benefit?

Why are politicians entitled to defined benefit plans after 5 years when they only “service” they provide is to themselves (need we hear of more examples of the selfish entitled Conservative politicians)?

Why aren’t the Tories interested in making life easier on Canadians by offering all Canadians defined benefit plans – and not just their millionaire buddies in the oil patch?

Why are they so enamored with bringing everyone down to the lowest common denominator – rather than making life better for everyone?

This convention will finish the Tories.

I didn’t think that they could sink any lower than Bullrooney – but I was wrong.

I’d rather for a donkey than for Harper.

News reporters say the Harper bunch have issued a memo instructing delegates not to talk to the media. Ropes excluding the media are everywhere.

Jennifer Ditchburn reports: “Never seen a political convention where reporters can’t walk the plenary floor and talk to delegates about policy.”
