Clifford Olson's pension payments are in jeopardy now that the nation knows this senior mass murderer is receiving monthly cheques.
Reaction to Peter Worthington's Sunday Sun column, from taxpayers, families of Olson's victims and Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself, has been swift.

A story today says figures indicate "about 325 jailed killers, rapists and other assorted criminals over 65 are receiving up to $1,200 a month in old age security."
But not for long, it seems.
Another reason for Olson to remain in solitary confinement.
The Toronto Sun has fared well with crime and punishment stories over the decades.
