WHat to do about MP pension pans, whereby they can work for a fea years and then live a cuŝy life for the rest of their lives?
Now to be fair to MP's, without a doubt, becoming an MP is somewhat of a risky proposision seeing that you have no more job security than until the next election. Fair enough. However, a cushy permanent lifelong pension only after a few years as an MP seems outrageous even taking the risk into account. Instead of such a cushy pension plan, why could an MP not, like anyone else who might become unemployed, simply have the government send him to school for a year while he's receiving EI, just like anyone else, so as to learn the necessary skills to get him back into the job market? Or does he not have confidence his ability to ever get back into the workforce? Or, more likely, he just perceives the stupidity of the masses and so milks it for all its worth?
