Social Welfare For Senior Criminals?
So why the foot-dragging by Ontario and Quebec on signing up to the federal government's plan to ensure that Canadian senior citizens who are imprisoned for criminal activity don't benefit from social security monthly cheques. They're in prison, courtesy of the justice system that has found them to be guilty of crimes against society.
During their stay they have no concerns about paying their bills. Room and board paid for, thanks to tax dollars.
Ample time when they're discharged to have governments at the federal and provincial level resume their entitlements for Old-Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement cheques.
Surprisingly, there are hundreds of senior citizens incarcerated in federal penitentiaries, and a like number within the provincial jail system. They are there paying penance as it were, doing time in lieu of making time for themselves in the wide open spaces of freedom. Expiating their sins.
There are some ensconced in the penal system for whom freedom will never be an option, reflecting the heinousness of their crimes. These are the psychotic-driven psychopaths for whom human emotions of concern for others' well-being are entirely absent from their psyches.
Those who have been and are still capable of inflicting horrendous harm on society, succumbing to the demons that consume them.
For most people the name Clifford Olson bespeaks an utterly conscienceless brutality whose death none would mourn. Yet we maintain this monster as a living example of the depths to which a human being can plunge in his dance with evil.
When it was revealed that this monster receives a regular $1,100 monthly cheque representing federal benefits for seniors, people were appalled and government itself vowed to discontinue the social-benefits farce.
Alberta, Saskatchewan,and Newfoundland have committed to supporting the discontinuance by the federal government of these social pay-outs to seniors in prison for serious public, social offences.
It's time the government bill to enact legislation to cut off senior offenders from receiving OAS and GIS payments took effect.
