Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems to be in a mood to fiddle with our pensions.

That may be all well and good. However, before he removes a copper or a nickel, he should first assay the removal of the gold and platinum from his and other members' and senators' pensions.

Their pension plan is, to put it bluntly, obscene.

Or, is this another case of "do as I say, not as I do?"
