  • Local Authorities Pension Plan Cost of Living
    SENIORS UNITED NOW LOCAL AUTHORITIES PENSION PLAN COST OF LIVING ADVOCACY PROJECT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE: Alberta pensioners annual cost of living adjustment is currently based on only 60% of the Canadian consumer price index. For the average government pensioner this calculated to a 0.96% increase, which in dollars amounts to about a $10.00 monthly increase, resulting in a further fall behind of the real inflation rate. The Alberta Provincial Government promised cost of living adjustments to be comparable to the C.P.I. but continues to break this promise. A recent press release from the Local Authorities Pension Plan indicates the total elimination of the Cost of Living Adjustment! COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT STANDARDS SET BY OTHER PROVINCES: Following is a summary, obtained from Google, which outlines the COLA adjustment standards implemented by other Provincial Governments; British Columbia, over the last 25 years (except for one year) has provided COLA adjustments which provides increases at 100% of the Canadian Consumer Price Index. Manitoba, COLA is based on 2/3 of the C.P.I. Ontario, appears to be 100% of the C.P.I. Quebec, pensioners over the age of 65 receive 100% of the C.P.I. Newfoundland/Labrador, COLA is adjusted October of each year to 60% of the C.P.I. New Brunswick, has a “Shared Risk Pension Model”, as pension returns increase the higher the COLA is adjusted. Nova Scotia, if superannuation fund is insufficient , the Minister of Finance shall pay the shortfall out of General Revenue. Year 2011 to 2015 COLA is indexed at 1.25%.

    For Immediate Release — Wednesday, August 12, 2015 University of Lethbridge alumnus Manwar Khan to hold Anti-Bullying Rally for victims of bullying and violence What: Do Not Be a Bystander Anti-Bullying Rally When: Saturday, August 15, 11:30 a.m. Where: Calgary City Hall – Municipal Plaza space Edmonton-based activist and University of Lethbridge alumnus Manwar Khan (BSc ’07), a father of twins, is holding a rally in Calgary at the Calgary City Hall as he continues to campaign across the province against bullying and violence. “We will be gathering in front of City Hall to show our support for every known and unknown victim of bullying and violence in Alberta,” says Khan, who witnessed a violent attack on an Edmonton LRT train in December 2012. It led to the death of one man and the incarceration of another. Khan invites everyone to gather at City Hall at 11:30 a.m. to rally in support of those who have been affected by violence and bullying. He is also asking people who are not able to attend the rally to leave their porch lights on from 6 to 7 p.m. on August 15, 2015 to show their support for the stand against violence and bullying. Khan established a series of anti-bullying rallies in 2013 and 2014, holding events in Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and Airdrie. He has vowed to continue to represent victims of bullying and to try and stem the onset of violence so that it does not persist in society. “I believe firmly that it is a matter of great importance to teach our children that bullying is simply not acceptable in our society if we are to achieve safety and happiness for all,” he says.

  • Naughty and Nice to Taxpayers List’ 2013
    ‘Naughty and Nice to Taxpayers List’ 2013 Naughty Alison Redford: Premier Redford flies around the world more than Santa Claus and gives out more free gifts paid for by debt than the big man in red could ever hope to, using mere elves. Total expense: $82,872 Notable airfare expense claims: o $7,875 to New Brunswick o $6,092 to Chicago o $5,927 to Toronto Notable hotel expense claims: o $876/night in Washington (x2) o $772/night in New York (x3) o $635/night in Toronto (x2) o $649/night in Ottawa (x2) Notable meal & hospitality claims o $22 coffees in Washington o $31 hamburger in Washington Doug Horner: Government debt is sort of like making the kids pay Santa for mom and dad’s presents. Since Doug is leaving behind debt for the little ones, Santa is likely to leave behind a lump of coal for him this year. Large debt and deficit; Even the Auditor General can’t figure out how to make sense out of his books; Initially banning the CTF from the budget lockup. Thomas Lukaszuk: Less naughty than last year, but Minister Lukaszuk sure does love flying to Calgary any chance that the can get. No driving for him. He even managed to find an excuse to be in Calgary on ‘government business’ for five days during Stampede. The last time Santa spent five days at Stampede, the elves fell behind on Cabbage Patch Kids and Mrs. Claus made him sleep on the couch for a week. Add to this his threat to raise beer taxes, and he really had no chance of making the Nice List this year.

  • Emergency Relief Funding First Step in Recovery for Wildfire Evacuees Those Using Services of Evacuee Reception Centres Should Receive Assistance First, Says Province
    May 20, 2011 Emergency relief funding first step in recovery for wildfire evacuees Those using services of evacuee reception centres should receive assistance first, says province Edmonton ... Two disaster relief programs designed to meet the urgent housing and financial needs of evacuees of fires in the Lesser Slave Lake region have begun rolling out in Alberta evacuee reception centres. “Many families will remember the effects of these unprecedented wildfires for the rest of their lives,” said Premier Ed Stelmach. “These programs will help them begin the first steps toward recovery.” The estimated cost of the programs is $24 million. Funds are part of the province’s $50-million relief program to meet the immediate needs of evacuees and to rebuild Slave Lake and surrounding communities. They were designed by the Premier’s Deputy Minister Task Force charged with designing, co-ordinating and administering disaster relief. To help Albertans pay for costs as a result of being evacuated from their homes, individual adult evacuees will be eligible to receive $1,250, and children under 18 will be eligible for $500. “Our priority is people who are relying on evacuee reception centres. We want to help them start building the next phase of their lives as soon as possible,” said Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Employment and Immigration. For those Albertans who cannot find and cannot afford temporary housing, a new program will help place people and cover up to 100 per cent of their housing costs until the end of August. Evacuees will then be assessed individually to determine their ongoing housing needs.
