Bill C-27 could mean changes for DB pensions
– moneysense.ca
Last April, the Department of Finance unveiled Bill C-27 on pension reform and it’s been winding its way through the House of Commons. Lately, it’s been getting a bit of interest because some parties see it as a threat to much-loved Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans. Most at risk are the envied and resented gold-plated DB pension plans for federal government workers. Here’s what you need to know as interest in Bill C-27 starts picking up steam.
What is Bill C-27?
Bill C-27 is an Act to amend the long-standing Pension Benefits Standards Act. Those in favour of pure Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans (mainly federal employee unions) have criticized Bill C-27, saying it would allow federally regulated employers to replace DB plans, which provide a guaranteed retirement income for life, with Target Benefit Plans (TBPs), which don’t make such lavish, iron-clad promises but still provide great pensions.

Student-Made Adidas Ad Will Make You Feel Something Real
– walletpop.ca
Some commercials do a great job at pulling at our heartstrings, and although this one won’t be aired anywhere, it still will make you feel something real.
In a student-made ad for Adidas uploaded on YouTube in December, the video tells the tale of a lonely elderly man who was once a happy marathon runner. Now living in a retirement home with closed doors, all this man wants to do is break free (in his Adidas shoes, naturally).
“We tried sending it to [Adidas’] communications department but they didn’t really react,” German student Eugen Merher of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg told The Huffington Post.
Real or not, the story created by the 26-year-old is not only relatable, it’s so relatable it hurts.
