YES IT IS OUR MONEY The government has already stolen so much of it from us ...it is supposed to be in a safe account for us.

No, repeal the canadian pension plan but replace it with other optional investment accounts that are government ran but giving them full access. people can pay a lot into CPP but cant take out all of what they actually paid into it their whole lives.

Yes but depending on how much they contributed to society to the best of thier abilities. Eg. someone who CHOOSE to work in a low-paying job and retires from it (if they didnt have a choice its ok) shouldnt get as much as someone who spent thier live advancing human beings in thier strongest field. To summarize The amount they get should be increased depending on the rule of equivelant exchange

If it's done right the issue is most people don't see a dime of their pension cause by the time they are old enough to claim it it has been spent

if people payed 40-50+ years of taxes, they deserve to be taken care of very comfortably in their old age

No, But institute Universal basic income, and reduce pensions and disablilty. so that they don't need a specialized program beyond just benefits and a small bonus fund.

 @9LJGNWT from British Columbia  answered…7mos7MO

Allow a worker or pensioner to either remain in or opt out of both CPP and OAS. Upon opting out, that person gets a commuted value of all past contributions into CPP (both employee and employer portions. If opting out of OAS, which can only happen at age 65 or later, then pay a discounted amount immediately that the person can invest. The discounted amount will depend on age at the time of opting out of either plan. If opting out of CPP before age 65, then reduce taxation on the individual by 5% if the income tax has not already been abolished.

yes it should be increased, but it should be increased to a liveable wage and incidentals without hardship.
