Old Age Pension ‘increase’ an insult to this senior

The government should be ashamed of themselves with all the money wasted on promoting themselves on upcoming elections, travel, etc.

To the editor:

We recently received our Old Age Pension for January and the government must feel they are so generous giving us a whole $1.19 per month.

They should be ashamed of themselves with all the money wasted on promoting themselves on upcoming elections, travel, etc.

I have worked since 1956 paying taxes to our B.C. government and feel this is an insult—by the time we pay tax on this we end up with nothing.

Hope there are many other seniors feeling the same.
