Should old age pensions be increased?

No, repeal the canadian pension plan but replace it with other optional investment accounts that are government ran but giving them full access. people can pay a lot into CPP but cant take out all of what they actually paid into it their whole lives.

Yes but depending on how much they contributed to society to the best of thier abilities. Eg. someone who CHOOSE to work in a low-paying job and retires from it (if they didnt have a choice its ok) shouldnt get as much as someone who spent thier live advancing human beings in thier strongest field. To summarize The amount they get should be increased depending on the rule of equivelant exchange

If it's done right the issue is most people don't see a dime of their pension cause by the time they are old enough to claim it it has been spent

if people payed 40-50+ years of taxes, they deserve to be taken care of very comfortably in their old age

No, But institute Universal basic income, and reduce pensions and disablilty. so that they don't need a specialized program beyond just benefits and a small bonus fund.

Allow a worker or pensioner to either remain in or opt out of both CPP and OAS. Upon opting out, that person gets a commuted value of all past contributions into CPP (both employee and employer portions. If opting out of OAS, which can only happen at age 65 or later, then pay a discounted amount immediately that the person can invest. The discounted amount will depend on age at the time of opting out of either plan. If opting out of CPP before age 65, then reduce taxation on the individual by 5% if the income tax has not already been abolished.

yes it should be increased, but it should be increased to a liveable wage and incidentals without hardship.

No, any Canadian get to retire at any desired age and repeal the Canadian Pension Plan so it would become private pension plan instead.

Nobody asked

im satisfied with the current amount

Retired elderly people should get enough money to live comfortably.

No, and TFSA contributions should not be capped, then the burden on tax payers, including retirees could decrease and their lives would be more affordable.

get rid of this stupid system and let people invest there money as they please or at least let people remove themselves if they wish

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation and make Canada Pension Plan an optional investment

Let people decide how much they want to put away for retirement not force them

The level for pensions is fine currently.

No, but supplement with the negative tax rate system.

No as it will mean there is no money left by the time my generation ages

Remove public pensions and allow the free market to fill the gap

Yes, and adjust to inflation

We should be able to choose our own rate of investment from nothing to maximum contribution with flexibility to adjust as we see fit.

should stay the same

No, but change the income type to T5 so it isn't taxable.

Yes, but capped for high incomes

Old age pensions ought to be dictated by C.O.L.A.

Yes, but not to anyone making “rich wages”

Yes, adjusted for the current cost of living.

Pensions should be supplemented with a guaranteed livable income

CPP should be run by the Private sector not Government

Yes, many old age people are still working as pension is not enough to cover everything.

Yes, and adjust them yearly for cost of living, but implement a system to prevent the 4-2-1 issue (the issue that the CPP is essentially screwed if birth rates/population growth are too low).

fine how it is

No, but it should not be decreased

Yes, according to inflation.

i dont much info on this

Yes, for all old age pensioners

Create a national system of 401(k)s to serve as our new pension system, have the system voluntary but put a matching amount of money into the finch equivalent to their monthly contribution up to 50,000.

Yes and OAS should not be taxed.

No, and retirement age should be extended to 67 for Canadians born after 1981.

Yes, but only the GIS and increased earnings exemptions.

Old Age Pension should be replaced with UBI

I think people should save for their Retirmemt.

pensions should provide a livable wage for those who have no other form of revenue or safery nets to fall back on (family or retirement home paid for by family or government)

Yes, but to only match that of inflation

For single pensioners who don’t live with another pensioner

As long there’s a good health program( socialize)

Replace with universal basic income

No, eliminate CPP and Ei and replace with universal basic income

Yes, you should be entitled to your full CPP amount

Stop taking it from Canadians and let us decide where to invest our money.

It should be adjusted based a C.O.L.A. system.

Decentralized and should be linked to inflation.

Yes, to be indexed with current and future inflation

Yes and make it tax free

Yes, but raise the retirement age

Yes, must be equal to inflation.

it depends, old age pensions should be a living wage based on the province a person resides.

Yes, but only as necessary if it falls short of the cost of living.

I don’t have an opinion

Incorporate pensions into a UBI system

No, and income tax should apply to it

Slowly phase it out. Keep it for those relying on it as they shouldnt be punished and pay back to young people what they paid in. Then end it once you can.

Yes but be careful of all other low income benifits

Yes, to a comfortable living level.

OAS should be ended and everyone get a universal basic income

No, where it's at is fine

Old Age Pension should be increased for everyone. People who have millions in their accounts should NOT recieve pension whats so ever. My cousin, who I have good relations with, has multi millions in his account and recieves Canada Pension, thats NOT FAIR.

Link to inflation/deflation, find a way to decentralize it to provinces.
