So it's OK to be outliers on low corporate taxes and no PST, but when it comes to supporting the vulnerable, we gotta make sure we are mid. Cool.
Give them an asset test imo. That would be much more effective. I know millionaires that can get their income down that low. All of these old age programs are going to be gone or stripped down to bare minimum within 15-20 years. Just a final payout to boomers until the check has to be paid.

Frankly, let the feds take this file, they are burning through almost 20% of their budget on it already. Alberta does not need to generously give out more to seniors. They designed a system that is going to collapse with them. Getting OAS on top of dramatically underpaying for CPP for decades. #### em. Give that money to literally anyone else for any reason and its better than the mass amounts of collective asset millionaires getting 3-5 different cheques each month.
