Ottawa 2015 Fall social
PistolPete replied to loneskater's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I'm still scratching my head over what does hobbying have to do with attending a social ? It's a meet and greet nothing to do with any other type participation, that we know of ;) Any new ladies reading this come to it sign up and it's a great way to meet other ladies and of course gentlemen. That said, my thoughts are that the cost, venue has nothing to do with people meeting for a social, chalk it up to bad timing ? I don't think it's a lack of interest. Hopefully ladies that are possibly available can make it this week, if not let's definitely keep this Ottawa social in place. Loneskater and Alexxandria continue doing what you both are trying to accomplish by being fabulous organizers. Hopefully this gets off the ground, if not I'm 100% certain we will be having a blast in December for a lovely Christmas Social ;) -

For those interested (yes you should get a annual CPP report from them) OR go online to Service Canada then you can log on using your own financial bank, create your log in security questions, and voila you can see all your past history of contributions to CPP. That said, yes the link I posted was dated however when you read what happened to poor George at that magical age, his job loss it seriously makes you think about key issues on how Service Canada can f*** a individual over after putting all those years into a job and contributed to CPP. I'm not telling anyone how to organize their retirement and I hope everyone that hits the magical age, do research. I did what was in my best interest, I asked my financial planner. BTW I still have 5 years and 10 years before those ages to collect, just goes to show you are never too young or a little older to plan for your future. Yes I wanted that freedom 55 and I'm still at it because it is difficult to not work (I took off 6 months and hated it, but loved the travel, I like to keep busy) and being able to sweeten the retirement pot. ;)

I often wonder why individuals would not draw their CPP at 60 years of age. Yes I know there is a max say at 1100.00 at age 65, or the 850.00 at age of 60. If you're well set up, with bonds,rsp's, savings, other pension, and other source of income (as I have ) just why would you not take the CPP at 60? I've seen so many close friends, wait until 65 then pass away shortly afterwards. Anyways my financial planner told myself to do it at 60, as you have set yourself up well enough, and why not? Your money take it early and enjoy it in case something happens health wise.

Just want to mention this, regardless if Conservatives,Liberals,NDP and Green Party were/are in power currently.......The code of conduct applies to all federal public servants not just scientists. The rules are in place to ensure neutrality and impartiality of public servants in their duties as they " serve the public " . Remember it's our tax dollars to pay public servants to provide a service not to give us their view on their choice of government. Public servants are well aware of this policy.
