Only in Canada Does a Refugee receive more money than a Pensioner

Editors Note:
I received the below info from a Canadian Govt. Employee.

We cannot guarantee the accuracy but if it is correct it is very unfair for Canadian pensioners who paid taxes all their life to receive less money than a refugee from another country.

I especially take offense to these numbers because my mother is pensioners whose husband (My father) gave his life for Canada and she receives less than a foreigner.

Something wrong with this picture and it's time for a Grey rebellion.



Only in Canada
It is interesting to know that the federal Government of Canada allows :
A monthly pension of : $1,890.00 to a simple refugee
• Plus : 580.00 in social aid
==========
• A grand total of : $2,470.00 monthly
X 12 months
==========
$28,920.00 annual income

• By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than :
• Amount/month $1,012.00 in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement
X 12 months
============
$12,144.00 annual income
• A difference of : $16,776.00 per year


* Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.

* Let us send this message to as many Canadians as possible, and maybe the allowance of refugee could then be reduced to $1,012.00, and that of our Canadian pensioners raised to $2,470.00 per month. (who actually deserve it) the money that they have been paying in income taxes for 40 or 50 years,

AN INCREDIBLE NONSENSE !
