There really is no winning with you. Paul Martin tried fixing OAS back in 1998 but was shot down. It has been well known for years that the costs were going to escalate, but quite frankly it would have been suicide for a minority government to even attempt to fix it.
Given the Conservative majority, its not surprising in the least bit that they are seriously looking at reforming it. The Liberals would probably do the exact same thing.
I can't wait to here the NDP bitch about how unethical it is to reform the system. Better we spend ourselves into oblivion like the US has because we don't have the political balls to reform entitlement spending.
