   Agreed and seen it all. Of course one has to remember WHO brought this   
   stinking mess to the country - Cretain and Martin - the two french   
   lawyers. Thieves and liars. If I was NOT SO BUSY paying my bills and   
   forced to pay all the taxes and supporting all the other social   
   programs in this country AND recycling fees etc.etc then maybe, just   
   maybe I could save some money for retirement seeing as their is not   
   going to be any money by the time I get there. Jason Kenny, the   
   immigration minister is set to bring even more educated and trained   
   immigrants INTO THIS COUNTRY shortly - he just sent 18 million   
   additional dollars to various countries to set up educational programs   
   so that more immigrants can learn a trade etc. and come to canada to   
   work. In three years they will be eligible for CPP while it takes a   
   canadian born here - 30 or more years. Why is no one stopping him from   
   ruining the system???
