Let's double check our goals...

All Canadians deserve to be financially secure, including our aging loved ones. But it's not hard to imagine better ways to address affordability pressures than giving 18,000 annual OAS subsidies to couples with incomes more than 2.5 times the median household income. If we give slightly less to financially secure retiree households, we can invest more in lifting seniors out of poverty, and supporting young and working people to cope with rising costs.
