This should, and really ought to be, a non-partisan issue. Besides, I believe 2025 was the last election in which boomers were the dominant age cohort. Parties that don’t move on these issues will have to explain their actions to millennials and Gen Z next writ period.

Instead of gaslighting caucus, perhaps the OLO should be listening to MPs. For them, the only numbers they likely need to see is the much tighter polling position in Alberta. If you can’t sweep Edmonton and Calgary, you’re not taking Southern Ontario or Atlantic Canada either.

iPolitics obtained responses from an anonymous caucus survey about the party’s caucus retreat in Penticton. Several MP were highly critical of presentations on polling and the messaging that the Conservatives have a path to victory #cdnpoli #ParlCA ipolitics.ca/2026/11/09/a-c…

I’m begging any of my followers who live in the Ottawa bubble to please push this type of policy reform. Maybe a multi-party consensus needs to be formed, but this is essential.

We can't stress enough: intergenerational fairness & OAS reform is quickly becoming a crux problem in 🇨🇦

Someone needs to have the political courage to take it on in the next five years or it will spiral out of control.

Sure, raising OAS age to 67 would save ~$11B a year by making every senior wait two more years for OAS, including the poorest and most at risk.

But there's a better trade proposed by @GenSqueeze and @jeffcanadamson: test OAS on household income like we already do with the Canada Child Benefit.

→ Clawback starts at $100K income for couples, $65K for singles
→ Wind down the outdated $7B/year age and pension income credits
→ Spend $2B on a $5,000 GIS top-up for seniors in poverty

We could, and should, take this one step further and additionally consider net assets in the calculation.

~$15B a year in gross savings from this plan and we have a more direct address to the real problem – seniors' poverty.

It’s crazy to me that we spend more tax dollars on the CBC than we do on CSIS
