So what do you think of Clifford Olson and his Pension Checks?

So what do you think? Should Clifford Olson receive his Old Age Pension while he is serving life in prison? He murdered at least 11 people and is serving a Life Sentence.

Now some wonderfully weird Parliamentarian has reacted to Clifford getting money from us as a Pension from Canada. He worked and paid into it over many years prior to his incarceration – so it is really his money. Now the Parliamentarians – our MPs – want us to stop paying him.

Actually it was more likely a “citizen” that found out he was getting the cash and has done the work up… getting other people worked up… and now it has become one of those “Fad Political Things” that MPs can get points from.

Yeah… the Conservatives did it AGAIN! Another brilliant thought that was never thought through.

Today at our “New Friends” senior’s group – Thursday afternoon – it was discussed today. It had hit the news again… this time it was Clifford himself that has caused the stir.

You may hate him for what he has done… and maybe even because of what he does – or will do… but this time my hat goes off to the Murderer… to the scoundrel… to the low life Clifford Olson. Clifford you have pulled off a brilliant tactic.

Clifford did this by sending his May Pension Check, all $1169.47 of it, to the Prime Minister of Canada as Political Contribution to the Conservative Party for the next Election! And in doing so, he was able to get the attention of the Press… who are all over it!

Think of it… Clifford in a masterful way has told the Government to stick it.

Clifford loves attention. It seems to me that many of his crimes he committed were likely revolving around this swirl of emotions that he gets with the publicity. Right now he is watching all the news reports of the check and the Prime Minister.

Think again… how does our PM deal with this? Have you ever seen a politician give money back? It is not possible. It would be like Niagara Falls flowing back up the river and going west from where it came.

Clifford is a Senior Citizen. Clifford is a Canadian… and he is deserving of what all other Canadians would receive – just like all the other guys in Prison are deserving of it.

Now you say… they shouldn’t get it – BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD MEN… they have done bad things! We can judge them and take it away because we say so. We are better so we can bring that judgement down on them.

Let me remind you – being a Senior is not bad… and taking away what is rightfully theirs is not right.

Now I know some Seniors that are the worst Human Beings on the Planet. They have not been judged for what they have done to weaken their wife’s resolve, destroy their children’s lives because of their nastiness… and they still receive their Pensions! So why can or why would anyone be able to take Clifford’s money away?

We have taken his Freedom… his right to be free… his right to connect with an outside world… and in doing so we have purposed to pay $150,000 a year to keep him there forever. In doing so we have already spent $3,000,000 on him alone… and will continue to do so until he dies… which could be somewhere around another 10 years or so. Clifford could cost us $4,500,000 before he is done.

And some one thinks of a big deal and makes it is a big deal of saving the Government a little over $1100 a month by cutting out his check!!!!

How stupid can we be????!

Now the fun part is that the other 350 plus people(I think there are more than that) that are in their retirement years – in prison – are talking of Suing the Government if they carry through the cutting off of their Pensions.

There are lawyers that are biting at the bit to take the case, maybe even for nothing, that will have heyday with this one!

If you cut off the Pension for these guys, they bring a lawsuit, it will cost us more than the $4,620,000 that we might save in one year.

The under current here is more serious. If the Government can get away with this thinking and action… they can do it to anyone… at any time… as Senior Citizen it can happen to you!!!
