Dear Editor:
I received a flyer in the mail this week from my Conservative MP asking “Does the Budget Support Seniors?”
My wife and I are both seniors and to our joy we have just received a combined increase of $2.26 a month from Old Age Security which makes us feel well supported.
We are even able to invest this windfall in our Tax Free Savings Account. We call it our rainy day fund. Since it doesn’t rain much on the West Coast anymore this should keep on growing.
I think the lack of rain has something to do with climate change, but our scientists have been told to shut up in case they upset us.
With the upcoming election I’m sure our benevolent government will do their best to give us even more support. They have certainly made us feel a lot safer having passed Bill C-51 so that CSIS can check any nasty emails.
