Anti Elvis from The New Saudi Arabia, Alberta, Canada writes: I'll tell you what this is about. Baby Boomers & votes. Baby Boomers ran up the debt, had a big party, then asked me to pay for it. Now they realize, oops, we didn't save enough SO we need to keep working. And in 10 years, they're going to ask me to help fund their pension plan & their healthcare. watch.

Anne Maxwell from Kingston, Canada writes: I am very pleased the Provincial Government as acted in
banning mandatory retirement. I am 63 and stilling
working full time in a Sales Environment. I work in an office where the average is age is 30, but I am treated as an equal.
At present I am enrolled a a Community College in the
evening to assist me in starting a new career; which I hope to start with the next year. Something I hope will be rewarding
and I will love to do.
I am very concerned about earning a living as I get older
as I do not have a Pension to look forward to, other than
CPP. So as long as I am healthy I will work till I put my
foot in the grave. Anne Maxwell

joe smoe from Halifax, Canada writes: The reason that we have to work longer, is taxes. Tax on our cpp oas. Oil food, everything goes up at and incrediable amount, while the seniors have to sit and starve. We have a government that is growing and wasting most of the monies that could go to the aging population .
