I bet you have a lot of hypocondriacs in Canada ;-) Hell yeah.... have "free" insurance and everyone runs to the doctor for every little sniffle. This is why insurance costs so much. |

Yep, there are very few uninsured hypochondriacs, on the other hand it's pretty amazing how the body heals itself in many cases when one is uninsured. Cheri |

In the event, if you have ripped the nail practically off, it is better to keep it there to 'train' the new nail in the right grooves and avoid ingrown toe nails, that made sense. |

Few do. Definitely free healthcare, that's a sacred cow in Canada and politicians try to monkey with it at their peril, but I also feel guaranteed pensions are good too. Seems now all the major corporations are trying to do away with them, not fair, another way the 1% see to grab more for themselves. |

When you say 'pension' do you mean what everybody gets when they reach 65 or 67 or so? |

Cajun/Creole (WAS: Meat for Pastys and the like)

Creole is considered more "upscale" but you said yourself it's a blend derived from all the cultures you mentioned above, including France. The term Cajun when it comes to cooking tends to refer to more relaxed (aka "country cooking") brought to Louisiana by the French Acadians out of Canada. France was a definite influence in both types of cuisine. Look up boudin; blanc and noir have origins in France. How about andouille? Hmmmm. Or just ask a Cajun; they'll tell you. Jill |

I agree about health care, but...it's not free it paid for by taxes and fees. Cheri |

Yes, the pensions you work for, apart from the national pension. I was talking to our mail man today, there is currently strife between the post office management and the union, he's okay, he'll get his but I understand that new people coming into the post office will have no guarantees in future as to what their pensions will be. In other words, big corps are trying to shed any responsibilities or guarantees as to what the pension deductions will mean to young people when they actually retire. All employees have Canada Pension deductions but I wouldn't want to have to exist on simply that alone. |

I could have no money or lots, but it would be the same treatment. The only thing I had to show was my NS medical card which proves I live in this province and also means the computer brings up all my medical files for them. Our fees are paid by a 2% ( I think, something like that) tax on sales. Not on all sales, but things like cars, or clothes. |

That was my point, nothing is free, but at least you get something really great for your taxes. Cheri |

They proposed that new hires sign on to a defined contribution pension plan and not what has become an unsustainable defined benefit plan. I wish the feds and provincial politicos had the guts to bring that in for all public servants. Graham |

I realise that we are paying for it, but I prefer it this way. I distrust insurance companies completely so would not want my health care in their hands! I like the feeling that I could be ill but not bankrupt paying for it. |

How would small companies (I work for one with fewer than 50 employees) manage defined-benefit pensions? We've got a 401K, but they stopped matching funds about 25 years ago so all I've got is what I put in (and market returns, of course). My husband does better; he's worked for somewhat larger companies and he's always had a 2% - 4% match. Cindy Hamilton |

I think the biggies have squeezed the ordinary population for all they were worth and now they look at the potential pensions and think why not, there is more money for our bottom line there. Back in the early 70s I had a big fight with the corporation I worked for when I found that I was putting in $10 per monthly pay cheque for my pension and they contributed $2.50 but FOR A MAN they were contributing $5, even though his job was not as responsible as mine! What made it worse, the union supported that and seemingly did not understand my objections. Both corp. and union said that was because it was different for women, they had husbands!! Nowadays I think they want to ditch pensions, increase their bottom line and to hell with employees. The sad part is that young people can't look into the future and see themselves at 65 and during the years there are kids to pay for etc it is very tough to find extra to put away. When it was a deduction, it was easier. I know my views are often considered as socialist but so be it. |

I agree about health care, but...it's not free it paid for by taxes and fees. Cheri ======= Of course, but all the years I was working I was paying in not only for myself but for everyone else to. Now those that come after me are paying for themselves and us too Nothing in life is free. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

A total of £80 goes into your pension each payday. The Social Security tax is currently 6.2% (of wages) paid by the individual and 6.2% paid by the employer. It's not subject to income tax. Workplace pensions are of two sorts: defined-benefit (which are going the way of the dodo bird) and defined-contribution. The 401-K is the latter type, and employers are free to change the terms of their contributions, as mine did. There are two types of 401-K plans: one is taxed at the time of the contribution (as if it were ordinary income) and the other is taxed at the time that the money is withdrawn. Cindy Hamilton |
