Introducing tax credit would make RRSP system fairer: Economics professor

Once again, Canadians are being bombarded with ads urging them to buy an RRSP. We already know that RRSPs make good business sense. Sixty per cent of people polled by Decima Research plan to invest in Registered Retirement Savings Plans. Only 38 per Dolores Pushkar-Gold and Tannis Arbuckle-Maag cent thought they could save enough for their retirement without an RRSP, and only 17 per cent believed they would get an adequate pension from the government . Gold, Arbuckle study post-retirement growth RRSPs were first introduced in 1957 to encourage people to save for their own retire­ ment. They are trusts whose earned interest is free from taxation until the capital is with­ drawn. In addition, contributions to RRSPs can be deducted from income, within limits. Tracking the vibrant years With provincial taxes and surtaxes, the tax break offered by RRSPs varies from province Canadian Aging Research Network, one of to province. Ouebecers seem to fare best in the country, with a $529 tax break on a BY AISLINN MOSHER $1,000 RRSP contribution,. according to Royal Trust statistics published in Th e Globe and the federal government's 15 networks of Cen­ tres of Excellence, of which Gold and Mail.

Concordia students got a taste of African culture and had a chance to buy handicrafts last week, when the African Students' Association held its annual African Cultural Days on the mezzanine of the Henry F. Hall t it t t Building. Association president Dorcas Kandawasvika said the event was an opportunity to show that Africa is a Concordia diverse continent, "not just one mass of people," and helps to counteract negative images of Africa in the media. t • t t t UNIVERSITY "When people see images of Africa, it's of people starving in Somalia or Ethiopia." Many people visited the mezzanine display and expressed interest, Kandawasvika said, but some still have a lot to learn. Referring to the REAL EDUCATION FOR THE REAL WORLD abundance of lions in Kandawasika's native Zimbabwe, one man asked, "When you walk around [the streets of the capital, Harare], don't the lions bite you?"
