Nordic countries: the myth of socialist paradises

What works for Finland may not work in other countries.

I heartfully agree, rehabilitation in the Nordic countries is no difference from surrendering to the criminals, and is a highly dependent variable to the living quality of the nation.

A youtube doesn't give the whole picture of a country's correctional system.

I hope that's the case IHJ, else I'd be sad to see the good folks lose to these criminals, like a smart person once said, "you can rationalize everything, this is why we need morals".

It was interesting to see the Finnish approach to criminal justice.

What Finland is doing has similarities with Aboriginal 'healing lodges', which are an alternative to traditional sentencing.

Anything is better than CPP. But, public pensions are not meant as anything more than subsistence.

If you mean the very basic "peoples pension", then it depends on your lifestyle..



You can live on it but you wont be eating out or driving your own car.





While you are still working in Finland, you should save money.





I save money for old Odi.

It's the same here..



We have Old Age Security for people like JOE that didn't save money, but it's a pittance..



We have Canada Pension Plan for people that do work, but you can't live on that either..



If you want a decent retirement, you must save for it.
