OUR CAMPAIGN IS GROWING!

May 05, 2010


Labour's campaign to expand the Canada Pension Plan and win "Retirement Security for everyone" continues to grow and pick up speed.We've printed over a million leaflets and trained activists to begin a cross-Canada workplace canvass. In the coming weeks, thousands of working people will learn that there's a better way to help everyone save more for retirement and will be invited to join with you to tell our politicians that it's time to change the CPP to make it happen.

Watch for the leaflet with the big red dice that says
"NO MORE GAMBLING WITH YOUR RETIREMENT SECURITY!"

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

Last week, I met with British Columbia's Minister of Finance. He knew about our campaign and understood the advantage of expanding the CPP. But he's also been hearing from business lobbyists and from others out there who think that everyone should just fend for themselves. He needs to hear from more real people like you, your friends and your neighbours.

If you live in BC, give your Finance Minister, Colin Hansen a call this week. Let him know that you support our campaign to expand the CPP to help everyone save more for retirement.

If you're in Vancouver, visit his office. It's at 5640 Dunbar Street (V6N 1W7)
