When the Conservatives formed government in 2012, Pierre Poilievre supported OAS reform. Just as Gen Squeeze has regularly observed, he argued that by the early 2030s:

“...the number of people on OAS will double, the cost will triple, and the number of taxpayers supporting each retiree will fall by half… We need to think of OAS as a glass of water. Retirees can only drink out of the cup in benefits what workers pour into it in taxes. If Canadians are drinking out of the cup faster than what is poured in, then someone goes thirsty.”

— Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada - House of Commons Hansard, May 7, 2012
