Nine harsh realities and nine practical solutions from Gordon Pape, Canada's trusted and widely read financial expert In this hard-hitting new book, personal finance expert Gordon Pape zeroes in on the realities of retirement that confront Canadians, including collapsing pension plans, a tax system that works against us, pitiful savings rates, and the fact that there are no "safe" investments.
