Dear Editor:
RE: ‘Afraid to show up,’ Feb. 20.
While I agree with the sentiment expressed by Michael Madden, it should be noted, fellow readers, that Ontario’s MPPs no longer have a pension plan.
In fact, Premier Mike Harris abolished them as part of the so-called “Common Sense Revolution” many years ago! An effort to revive MPP pensions during Kathleen Wynne’s premiership failed.
No one wants to flog that dead horse apparently, even though, in this writer’s humble opinion, a pension plan is likely a good idea and an inducement for some to leave more lucrative jobs to run in an Ontario election.
Bryan Hayter,
