CTF Launches Pig Brigade on Parliament Hill to Expose Excessive MP Pensions

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) bombards Parliament on June 15, 2010 with 75 pigs to expose the excessive pension benefits paid to Canadian Members of Parliament after only six years of service. CTF federal director Kevin Gaudet comments.

In the same report, MPs relent and say they will now allow Auditor General Sheila Fraser to audit "some" of the MPs' expenses. Fraser will only be able to do spot audits and will not be allowed to release names.

Abuse of Taxpayers

When will the average taxpayers finally wake up an realize that this worlds economies are fuelled by our irresponsible consumer spending?

Such consumer spending manipulation designed by the glutunous wealthy of the world such as the the Rothchilds, the Vanderbuilts, the English Monarchies, the Morgans, the Bushs, and primarily the International Bankers who have masterminded the worlds wars for personal profit with no sorrow or regret for the killing of millions of our sons and daughters throughout the ages. These same culprits have organized the repressions and depressions in the world in order that they may succeed, while the commoners in the world generate revenues for the wealthy and measely incomes, like mice on a wheel we become preoccupied by marketers who convince us that we need such goods and services which eventually render us incapable of providing for ourselves. These marketing schemes are conceived in such a manner that natural god-given talents like gardening, food preserving/preparation, basic fabricating and painting become lost or foreign to us mainly due to lack of available time, as we are committed to mortgages, loans,  insurances and fees for basic utilities, landline and/or cellular phone, cable/satelite, internet and many other memberships and subscriptions thus we are kept busy working one or more occupations/jobs in order that we may afford such forced neccessities.

The currencies of this world were created by the planet's cruelest egotists as a tool to distance themselves from the common man. While the greed-filled mongrels developed empires from earth's resources, which belong to you, I and everyone with the blood, sweat and tears of the oppressed. This created currency associated with debt has become the primary cause of malnutrition, homelessness, stress, hatred and violence in general.

 What the world needs now is genuine love for other than thyself, a world without currencies, bartering or trade of any kind. Such a world would not need insurance companies, lawyers, marketers, bankers, brokers, agents, no obnoxious advertising and many other greedy misleading so-called proffessionals.

A world such as depicted by Jack Fresco and Roxanne Meadows of The Venus Project.

MP Expenses

All of the MP Expenses should be open and names mentioned.  They seem to forget that the money they are spending is public money and their's personally.  Sheila Fraser has to have full access to all public spending.

Canada's Federal Debt

The federal government is adding $88 million a day to our debt. At this rate, the $105-billion in debt repayment between 1997 – 2008 will be wiped out this year. Support our campaign for a federal balanced budget law and help us STOP this clock.
