Yep, that's a source of my anxiety. Hoping McPherson bulks up on her French, fast.

The stats say otherwise. Yes, it's rich vs. poor, and boomers are disproportionately wealthy relative to millennials and gen-z. Down payments on a house used to take five years on average; now it's 14 years.
Put it this way: do you think OAS should be reformed?

Oh yeah, our policy approach to this issue is anachronistic and supported by total dinosaurs. There is a complete lack of civic maturity on the matter, especially on the right.

Yeah, that's just not viable. We would not find work.
My point, ultimately, though, is that boomers shouldn't be getting what is basically welfare when their retirement earnings are north of $60k/year. I don't make that, and I don't get the equivalent of OAS, and nor should I.

No no, we can't afford a house *period*, and moving into a dying town, where we cannot find work, is not a viable option. I do hope you acknowledge the massive discrepancy in housing access between your generation and mine. It's a gulf

The same.
The increase is coming as a result of an increasingly aging population - it's an increase in government expenditures, not an increase in individual sums received. There may be an inflationary increase. I'm unsure if it's indexed to inflation.
