At some point the government is going to have to look at cutting OAS from mid-to-high income seniors to fund health care. But instead these idiots did the opposite and increased OAS while maintaining the $80K threshold before benefits are reduced.

Yep. The problems are national, systemic, and have worsened in every province under every government. There’s no party at any level offering to both systemically reform the system and increase funding. And without both, the health care capacity crisis will only get worse.
