Coast Guard, Old Age Pension, and Blackmore's taxes
"Safety First, Service Always" - that's the motto of the Canadian Coast Guard. And yesterday, the Coast Guard celebrated it's golden anniversary. For fifty years, this civilian organization has watched our marine borders and saved countless people from rough seas. But with an aging fleet and crew and growing demand for their services in the Arctic, the Coast Guard could be looking at a new, and uncertain future. David Pugliese writes about military issues for the Ottawa Citizen. He explains.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced changes are coming to Canada's retirement security system. He says the move is necessary to make the fund sustainable for future generations. Although the Canadian Pension Plan will remain as it is, the Old Age Security program could be altered. Diane McCurdy is the president of McCurdy Financial Planning. She says there is a need for change.
Well-known polygamist leader Winston Blackmore has been back in court this week. But this time, it's not charges of polygamy that has brought the Bountiful B.C. leader before a judge. It's taxes. Blackmore is disputing the government's assessment of his income, again on religious grounds. Vancouver Sun columnist Daphne Bramham has been following this story. She's also the author of "The Secret Lives of Saints: The Child Brides and Lost Boys in Canada's Polygamous Mormon Sect."

It's no secret we love playing music by Paul O'Brien. We've also played music he's written for his family.

Sarah Burke's legacy is still dominating the headlines and airwaves. The Canadian freestyle skier died after falling on the superpipe at an event in Utah last week. In the wake of her death there have been a lot of questions about who will cover the hospital bill. According to the Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association, Burke was not insured under their policy because she was participating in an unsanctioned event hosted by a sponsor. This incident highlights the challenges of getting insurance for pro athletes. Bill Bailey, a special projects manager for WL Edwards and Hudson Henderson insurance, explains the insurance costs for athletes in high risk sports.
