Duffy's 75th birthday kicks off $47,000-per-year senator pension party

CALGARY, AB: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation hosted a virtual 75th birthday party for Mike Duffy, to shine a light on the big costs of the Senate’s pension and budget. “Duffy will get almost four thousand dollars a month for the rest of his life thanks to his taxpayer-funded pension,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “It’s good that some progress was made on pension reform a few years ago, but senators are still receiving very generous benefits, especially when the vast majority of taxpayers working outside of government don’t have a workplace pension.”
