The Canadian Safety Net for the Elderly (PDF)
U.S. Social Security Administration [SSA] 
Oct. 23, 2008
15 pages. Excerpt: Canada's Public Pensions System is widely applauded for reducing poverty among the elderly. This article reviews benefits provided to Canada's older people and compares the Canadian system to the U.S. Supplemental Security Income program. Although Canada's system would probably be judged prohibitively expensive for the United States, the authors argue that there are nevertheless lessons to be learned from the Canadian experience.
