Urbain Lajeunesse writes: "Here (in Nova Scotia) taxmakers pile on the taxes, old-age pensions are delayed or cut down as much as possible. An old lady of 86, with three invalids in the house: the four of them have to live on the $40 a month which the aged lady receives!
Another invalid — allowance refused.
"An old man who had the misfortune to earn $300 while under the conditional pension before the age of 70, now sees his pension cut so as to reimburse what he received.
Another old man of 72 had his $40 a month; but his wife, who is over 65, having just been listed as entitled to an indigent allowance of $30, the man's pension is cut down to $30 (which is contrary to the no-means test pension law). And Canada is prosperous, sing the Liberals. Prosperous for whom?
