Considering that we are living off the Canadian taxpayer, DS, I for one am thankful for every increase - no matter how small.

We don't live off the Canadian taxpayer, Mowich. We live off the interest we payed in taxes and the money the corporation of Canada made selling shares on the NY stock exchange using Canadian legal persons as a commodity.

ROFLMFAO.
That's funny. The piddling amount you paid in income taxes wouldn't even pay the interest on the money spent on services you used.

Actually, DaSleeper, this news could be construed as cruel and unusual punishment to one prolific senior basher that posts in the forum!

I thought it was cruel and usual punishment for all the minimum wage workers that didn't get a pay raise this year but had to contribute to yours.http://forums.canadiancontent.net/images/icons/icon7.gif

Probably - it all just drives inflation.

I posted this actually looking forward to an apoplectic reaction from that particular individual I but will be satisfied with a red-....lolz

[lone wolf]

I got nearly $10.00 on ODSP! - the trade-off is Hydro went up $69

I'm lucky I no longer get apoplectic reactions- (actually that is too dignified a term)

Hey...12 dollars is a half decent bottle of wine......don't knock it....:lol:

What gets me is thinking about those single people who's sole support is OAS. My wife and I are both drawing OAS plus we have other pensions and savings that make it reasonable.

The only way a single person could exist on the O.A.P. is if he can find a boarding house (rarer than hen's teeth) where some kind soul will feed you and do your laundry for $500 a month.

W.T.F. is O.D.S.P.? anything like R.R.S.P.?

Or, own your own home and keep on working as I do.

I meant O.A.P. as sole income.................it's likely not even possible!

Very difficult for two people.but if you own your house and don't have a mortgage it can be
doable. Best if you have another income or savings to augment the pension.
