I don't think I've "trumpeted" that. I've said, its worthy of discussion. I've suggested a blended system might be better. I pointed to Saskatchewan as an example, rather than Quebec.

without regard for the facts. The CPP is sound for many decades, proven by actuarial analysis.
I also stated more than once that I was't well versed on the issue. My comments were simply based on things I've heard. For example; "one can't rely solely on CPP" or "many who CPP recipients also need to get OAS".
I also said I was interested in hearing from others.

What, that we have average "Joes" (or Janes) who come to web forums to discuss policy?
