We should try to educate our youth more to save money for retirement so the taxpayers don't have to support them as much.
Raising the age won't solve the problem by itself. If you made a certain amount of money during your career or have a certain amount of assets you shouldn't qualify at ALL for OAS. The program should be designed for people over 67 who need a bit more help after they retire. Everyone else should collect CPP, which they paid for, or some other pension.
Not sure how they calculate it now, but anyone who made more than $50,000/year should not qualify, IMO. Or their payout should be reduced.
