Strongly agree

Yes, but only for those making over $50,000 per year

The Bloc Québécois may agree with this statement, as it aligns with their focus on social justice and protecting the rights of Quebec citizens. Taxing pensions only for those making over $50,000 per year would ensure financial security for lower-income retirees while still generating government revenue from higher-income individuals.

Agree

No, falling interest rates are already draining elderly pension payouts
