Spelling Mistakes & Time

You may find spelling and grammar mistakes in my blog. I do try to go back and correct them when I notice them and have time .

The reason is my brain works faster than I can type. As you can see I am SUPER VISUAL which is why I like to share photos, drawing, paintings, videos, film, but typing can be labourious sometimes and I don't care for it because people sometimes misinterpret my tone.

Tone is very hard to convey in type sometimes, fonts themselves can mess with everything. So this is why you will find spelling mistakes.

Also as I say to my friends, love me or leave me. If you like my blog stay and visit, if not move along and I wish you a lovely day.

I just wanted to add a little bit that things change with time. There may posts on here from 7 years ago and I have grown, and learned so much since then, that I may think differently. So when you read my posts also consider the age of it.
Thanks!

Sample Letter to an Advocacy Organization

Your Name] [Your Address] [City, Province, Postal Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Organization’s Name] [Address] [City, Province, Postal Code] Dear [Organization’s Name/Director], Re: Advocacy for Reform of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) I am writing to bring to your attention an issue that I believe is critical to achieving greater social and economic justice in Canada: the need for reform of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) to address the inequities that disproportionately affect women and low-income workers. As it currently stands, the CPP’s calculation of retirement benefits based on lifetime earnings significantly disadvantages women, who often experience interrupted careers due to caregiving responsibilities, and individuals who have worked in low-wage jobs. These groups are more likely to receive lower CPP benefits in retirement, perpetuating financial insecurity and inequality. The existing “drop-out” provision, which allows for the exclusion of up to 8 years of low or no earnings, is insufficient in addressing the challenges faced by those with extended caregiving responsibilities or consistently low wages. Furthermore, the enhanced CPP component, calculated on the best 40 years of earnings, does little to mitigate these disparities. I believe your organization, with its strong track record of advocating for the rights of [seniors/women/workers], is ideally positioned to lead the charge in pushing for CPP reforms that reflect the realities of all Canadians. Specifically, I propose the following changes: Expansion of the Drop-Out Provision: Increase the allowable number of years for the drop-out provision to better accommodate individuals with extended caregiving responsibilities. Introduction of Caregiving Pension Credits: Implement a system of pension credits for unpaid caregiving work, similar to models in other countries, to recognize the value of this labor. Comprehensive Review of Gender and Income Disparities: Advocate for a thorough review of the CPP to identify and address gender and income disparities in retirement benefits. I would be very interested in supporting your efforts in this area, whether through volunteering, contributing to policy discussions, or participating in advocacy campaigns. Please let me know how I can assist in advancing this crucial cause. Thank you for your dedication to improving the lives of [seniors/women/workers] across Canada. I look forward to your response and to collaborating on this important issue. Sincerely, [Your Name]

Sample Letter to a Member of Parliament (MP) or Minister

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, Province, Postal Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [MP/Minister’s Name] [House of Commons/Ministry Name] [Address of MP's Office] [City, Province, Postal Code] Dear [MP/Minister’s Name], Re: Request for Review and Reform of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Policies I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the current structure of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), which I believe unfairly disadvantages women and individuals who have worked in low-wage jobs or taken time off work for caregiving responsibilities. I am urging you to advocate for necessary reforms to make the CPP more equitable and reflective of the diverse working lives of Canadians. As you know, the CPP is a cornerstone of financial security for retirees in Canada. However, the current system's reliance on earnings history to calculate benefits creates significant disparities. Women, who are more likely to take time off work to care for children or elderly relatives, often experience lower lifetime earnings. As a result, they receive lower CPP benefits, despite their invaluable contributions to society through unpaid caregiving work. The “drop-out” provision, which allows for the exclusion of up to 8 years of low or no earnings, is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough in addressing these disparities. Many women and low-income workers have more than 8 years of reduced earnings due to caregiving or working in jobs with inadequate pay. The enhanced CPP component, which is based on the best 40 years of earnings, further compounds these inequities by not sufficiently accounting for the unique challenges faced by these groups. To create a fairer and more just CPP system, I propose the following changes: Expand the Drop-Out Provision: Increase the number of years that can be excluded from the earnings calculation for individuals who have taken time off for caregiving or worked in low-wage jobs. Introduce Pension Credits for Caregiving: Similar to systems in other countries, offer pension credits for years spent in caregiving roles, recognizing the societal value of this unpaid work. Review Gender Disparities: Conduct a comprehensive review of how the CPP affects women and low-income earners, with the aim of introducing policies that address these disparities. I believe these changes would help ensure that all Canadians, regardless of gender or income, can retire with dignity and financial security. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss these issues further with you or a member of your staff. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your response and to hearing how you plan to address these concerns. Sincerely, [Your Name]
