Garbage!

There are actually a number of other professions (non-governmental) who can take their pensions at 55.

Hell, I'd be happy just to get a pension in my job.
Good thing my wife works for the Government of Canada so she'll get one (although its miniscule compared to what politicians get). But at least we'll be able to buy groceries once we retire.

I'm not going to try to defend the pensions for MPs, as I think its too rich. I do have to say that these kinds of opinions make me laugh though. If things are so easy as a politician then just go get yourself elected!
For the record I don't have a pension either. I do know that well in advance though, and as a result am planning accordingly.
