Reminder that Canada under the Harper government *did* raise the OAS eligibility age.

Had Trudeau not reversed this courageous reform, we would be spending $11 billion less on OAS by 2029, according to the PBO.

When OAS was created in 1952, the benefit began at age 70. Life expectancy was 68, and the ratio of workers to retirees was 8 to 1.

Eligibility is now at 65, with life expectancy at 81, and the ratio of workers to retirees down to 3 to 1.

The current system represents a massive, unjust intergenerational transfer of wealth which is obviously unsustainable.
