The 2 pieces of news are actually came from the same source, the same survey by RBC, which the press release titled "RBC Poll finds most Canadians stayed on budget over the holidays". As you can see, the same story can play different angles, all depends on how the report/editor wants to present it.

I have been asked quite a few times in the last 2 weeks regarding how to get information on personal CPP... So I decided to put up a blog post on it :)
