Not today.

Cool. Let's cut OAS and fund CCB like OAS. Im glad we agree.

Is your goal to just derail threads, especially with topics the mods already shut down?

Just wait. If younger Canadians advocated for this the words " we cannot afford it" would come out so fast. The country is broke... Taxes are too high... The debt/deficit...

I was halfway to writing a response to this but as it progressively got more and more nonsensical I realized that for my own sanity, I'll just leave you to it.

Legacies can be mixed. Mulrooney left the country broken to the point of breaking apart, but he also gave us NAFTA which despite Trumps best efforts, continues to live on in some form or another.

Explain? Also means so many less canadians with criminal records with the consequences that come from that. Also frees up policing resources. It is, but again, the tradeoff is the economic growth. So? The CCB before trudeau consisted of a lot of tax credits. Which implies, spend money...

It's just another BS tariff for a BS reason. The fact it wont touch CUSMA trade compliant goods is the tell. If it was a actual problem they would apply it to cusma compliant goods.

Funny since youre asking working age canadians to 'give' more to older canadians via increases CPP contributions while being likely to receive less from it themselves by the time they retire. Giving is fine as long as it's in one direction it seems.

Okay, lets put it another way. Is there a way to massively expand CPP without massively expanding contributions from working age canadians?

It should. It wont.

Where does the CPP get their money from I wonder...

Again, 90+ percent of canadians older than 55 voted LPC, CPC and BQ. This is not a mistake, an accident, or a anomaly. This is the design. None of those parties will ever, ever touch OAS. The NDP and Greens got 25 percent of the youth vote, way more than what the older cohorts would vote...

Okay, let me simplify this. When you say you want a expanded CPP and means tested GIS, do you want the same level of collective spending on elderly to be about the same or do you want it to be significantly lower?

Because you're hogging all the government spending grandma... This doesnt even touch healthcare spending which is spend disproportionately more on older canadians than younger canadians. This doesnt address the covid 19 lockdowns which hit older canadians harder than younger canadians but...

Outside the scope of this conversation.

For all the people clutching their pearls, dont worry. 90 percent of Canadians older than 55 voted for the CPC, LPC and the BQ, all of whom will never touch OAS. They would rather watch the country collapse that dare to address it.
