For those visitors who want to see how the CABP evolved from its very first video in 2007, click here.

The CABP has been able to rock the boat in Parliaments in Ottawa, and London and will continue to do so until we have pension parity…

In March 2021, in Ottawa, Paul Manly, MP, Green Party put forward a Motion to Parliament requesting the Canadian Government to have discussions with the UK Government regarding indexing our pensions. The Motion was passed unilaterally.

In November 2018, through the All Party Parliamentary Group for Frozen British Pensions (APPG), and the End Frozen Pensions campaign Group, further support was being sought through this Parliamentary event.

In October, 2018, 93 year-old World War Two veteran Anne Puckridge travelled from Canada to Westminster to meet MPs to tell them her story of living on a frozen pension. On 15 November, Anne then went to Number 10 Downing Street to hand in a petition of 267,100 signatures calling for an end to the injustice of frozen pensions.

Successive UK Governments have lied, cheated and prevaricated over this issue for more than 70 years. The British government is traitorous and disingenuous to it’s own people based solely on where they choose to retire. Time to engage in this fight for justice. In November 2018, Anne Puckridge discussed this with the BBC…

In September 2016, John Markham, who had been an advocate for British retirees in Canada for many years says he hopes the government will help negotiate a better deal on indexing UK pensions. The are 127,118 British retirees who live in Canada and don’t receive the annual increases in their UK pension payments.

 

In October 2013, in the run up to Remembrance Day, Vic Williams, who was a long time member of the CABP, made a personal appeal to David Cameron who was then the British Prime Minister. Vic, who was a decorated veteran of WW2, made this appeal on behalf of all veterans who are affected by the disgraceful treatment by the UK Government.

Canada is in the top 36 of 37 members of the OECD in that it pays and indexes its pensions globally. The UK is the 37th and bottom, the only one to freeze the pensions of half of those abroad, affecting 4% of all pensioners. @10DowningStreet @theresecoffeymp https://twitter.com/jryerson1/status/1380519675042357249

CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-vaccine-rollout-data-1.5980588?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar "Canada is third in the G7, behind only the United States and United Kingdom. Canada also ranks third when compared to members of the G20 And those same metrics put us in the top 10 out of 37 members of the OECD." Well done Canada #vaccinations

Thank you Lord Jones for keeping the British frozen pension issue in the spotlight and for your latest Lords Question to Baroness Stedman-Scott 🔰
Canada deserves a better response than this vague nonsense, and UK pensioners throughout the world deserve an unfrozen pension.
