Just once I would like to see stats. on how many people pay into CPP and die before they get it.  One of my brothers-in-law dropped dead of a heart attack at 59.  Why no present stats. on how many Canadians die between 60 and 70, between 70 and 80 and so on.  We may be an aging population but what does that mean?  Some may be living longer but by how much and at what ratio to others?  How do we evaluate when you could be healthy today and dead tomorrow?  My wife and I have outlived most of our friends and we had many.  We receive obituaries on a regular basis and we are lucky enough to be past our seventies.
