Only in Canada ...

"Don't apply for old age pension. Apply to be a refugee. It's interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890 and each can get an additional $580 in social assistance for a total of $2,470.

This compares very well to a single pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of Canada for 40 or 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Maybe we can get the refugees to cut back to $1,012. Let's get the pensioners up to $2,470 so they can enjoy the money they were forced to submit to the Canadian government for those 40 to 50 years."
