Michael Ignatieff on Pensions

I've had an interesting life. I was a self-employed writer. I was a journalist. And I was a teacher. And for about 18 of those years I didn't have any pension at all. I've lived that feeling of, you know, being up on a wire without a safety net. And that's one of the reasons pension security matters so much to me. There's a lot of fear and anxiety in Canadian life, and, and what's politics for but to take that fear out of people's lives? Give them a sense of confidence. Give them a sense that there's ground under their feet. It's so important that every Canadian can go out, build a business, build a new career, build a new life, and think, you know, whatever happens there's granite under my feet here. I've got the Canada Pension Plan I can rely on. I can put some money into a supplementary Canada Pension Plan that will make sure that when I retire, you know, I'm going to be able to retire in security and dignity. That's what government's for.

It is nice to see some thought going into the future for our pensions, many people don't realize how important it is to have a good solid cpp, my husband and myself are in our early 50's and have both had to go on cpp disability, never imagining this would happen to us we were caught totally unprepared, I would never want to see this happen to others, our work force is aging and believe me you really want to be prepared.

Please keep up this kind of ad campaign, show Canada what you stand for, why it is important to us, and how you will achieve it. Show Canadians that you will not stoop to ignorant level of the Tories in their ridiculous attack ads, but don't forget to stand strong against them. Keep this up and you'll have my vote.
