Please relate how this article can relate to the average pensioner who lives off $1,200/month in income or maybe $2,000/month if both are alive. I have read articles on the poor state of a widow who has an income of almost 10,000/month and struggling to make ends meet. I don't begrudge those who have more and receive a good income in retirement, but please come back to reality and write articles to support widowers who can only receive a maximum of $1127/month in CP when their spouse dies. Take that fight to government to help those who built this country and who now suffer in poverty, while do-good government agencies dole out more cash per month to those who won't work or to recent immigrants than to widowers who contributed to make this country the best place in the world to live. I can't understand that people may have to do with less if they only make $3200/month or 60k/yr. My god, what would happen if they only has $1127.  Energy is best spent reporting or helping those in need.
