Subject: Clifford Olson gets seniors' benefits
To: backtoeden.ontario@gmail.com
The CTF has learned that 70-year-old Clifford Olson – a notorious serial child killer – has been collecting Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments to pad his bank account while serving multiple life sentences in prison. These income support programs are meant to help seniors make ends meet, not for prisoners who already live off the government dime.
And it's not just Clifford Olson. Under current rules, every convict over the age of 65 is eligible to apply for OAS and GIS payments.
SIGN THE PETITION OPPOSING THIS TRAVESTY
With over 500 prisoners in federal jails over the age of 65, this perk costs taxpayers over $7 million, every year.
Human Resources Minister, Diane Finley, has taken notice of Olson and his OAS and GIS collecting prison buddies and has committed to look into the situation. Let's show her that Canadians want action now. Support and pressure from thousands of you, your family and friends can make the difference.
Step 1: Sign the petition asking Minister Finley to ban prisoners like Clifford Olson from getting these payments.
Step 2: Forward this e-mail to everyone in your address book and encourage all of them to sign the petition too.
