That doesn't make any sense; that's not how it works. Everyone's individual CPP contributions are proportional to their pension. There's no preferential treatment for anybody.

Exactly, I don't know the actual statistics (as the OC didn't provide any) but if they actually are paying in more than they're receiving it means they have a lot more workers than retirees. Sounds like a good deal when factoring in other provincial costs like healthcare for example.

Oh man, I feel dumb. Yeah I was thinking of ei.

I mean I can still imagine them being upset because they think they make more contributions than they receive in payouts.... (false assumption like I just made).
