Speaking of which, these came out today. Always rather skeptical of polls/surveys but the second point seems rather nuts.

The poll, conducted from Nov. 29 to Dec. 6 by Ipsos Reid among 3017 Canadians 30 to 65, found just 27% expect to be fully retired at 66. That’s down from 51% in 2008 — a big drop for just five years.
Incredibly, the HSBC survey suggests that 47% of Canadians age 55-64 have never saved at all for retirement.
