i am afraid these elderly have been used by some politicians, or politician-want-to-be. Everyone wants to take advantage of tax-payers, even those politicians linked to these elderlys. Here is the report by Toronto Star about many yrs ago, interesting to read, and gives some food for thought:
Toronto Star article by Tom Kerr accused them of unfairly living in a housing cooperative subsidized by the federal government, despite their high income.
"Well-to-do Layton lives in 'affordable co-op'." Tom Kerr, Toronto Star. Jun 14, 1990. pg. A.1 Layton and Chow had both lived in the Hazelburn Co-op since 1985, and lived together in an $800 per month three-bedroom apartment after their marriage in 1988. By 1990, their combined annual income was $120,000, and in March of that year they began voluntarily paying an additional $325 per month to offset their share of the co-op's Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation subsidy, the only members of the co-op to do so. Average Toronto market rent in 1989 was $782 per month, although the Vancouver Province newspaper claimed a comparable dwelling would have been worth $1,500.
