the issue is an underfunded CPP, it has nothing to do with any given generation.
But hey, blaming boomers is an artform and national hobby, so carry on.

And if anyone thinks boomers are getting rich with CPP, you're kidding yourself. It wasn't our generation that decided everyone needed a 3000 square foot home, a car, pickup truck and motor home or boat before they reached the age of 30. We worked for years making our contribution and accumulated our assets by the time we retired. Maybe some of the younger generation should do the same.
