Government Pensions –
Regardless of what level, Municipal, Provincial or Federal – they are stuffed full of goodies – and massive liabilities – In Alberta the underfunded liabilities for teachers is at 8. 6 Billion – as of May 2009-
Yet many Canadians do not have or will not have pensions when they retire – Should pensions be transferable – Should Civil Service pensions not reflect economic reality - The perks that the Auto Unions had were beyond belief – Toronto unions are now on strike – And if anyone thinks that Mayor Miller is against unions – well think again – he has raised taxes to higher levels – If it moves he taxes it –
The Feds and the Prov of Ontario did a sleight of hand and 3 billion went to support the Auto Sector pensions –
Last but not least – It is nearly impossible to fire a member of most unions -
