@Steele_MJ @MarkJCarney @JustinTrudeau misinformation. We literally have a plan to eliminate poverty for ALL Canadian seniors without the need to increase taxes. https://t.co/GUWdaYR2h9

@rosskay @CMHC_ca It is irresponsible to post such a graph with no source citations, links, or context. This is misinformation.

@ProudlyBornInBC Income clawback thresholds rise annually relative to inflation.

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

A growing number of Canadians want to fix Old Age Security. Tom thinks OAS claw back thresholds are too high and the funds should be better used. #cdnpoli https://t.co/PSR50ws0aw

@DouglasTodd @CMAJ @adriandix Our new report challenges one of Canada’s most common health-care narratives: that long wait times are the result of a “doctor shortage.” https://t.co/IQ27tMTo4i

[Ken Yang @kenjaminyang]

Rising home values have helped some, but hurt others. Do we want them to go up or down?

This is the ultimate crux of the housing debate, of which the nation is split and Canada's National Housing Strategy is completely silent on

@Mspundit @JACruickshank @Prominent_Bryan We think decreasing OAS for households above $100,000 makes sense and we've got videos of seniors across Canada who agree. Please sign up if you support that change: https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

@JACruickshank @Prominent_Bryan Thanks for pointing that out John! Seniors have the lowest poverty rate of any age group but there are still 400,000 who need income support. Our plan would eliminate poverty for all seniors and help younger generations too: https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

@annie_swede @Prominent_Bryan We still have the issue of BIG spending that is not sustainable. https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

@timekeeper1999 @FranzGarmer @Prominent_Bryan These speak for themselves no? https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@timekeeper1999 @Prominent_Bryan See anything needing fixing? https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@UnderwhelmedObs @xMedicToo @Prominent_Bryan That's correct! Boomers did not prepay enough in taxes during their working years to cover the costs of OAS and medical care they are currently receiving. We did the math. Younger generations are picking up the slack with taxes that are 20-40% higher. https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

@RHPalmerston3 @Prominent_Bryan If you think CCB is expensive.....wait until you see OAS!!! https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@ray_hoang30 @Prominent_Bryan Our most recent poll shows the opposite. 3/4 of Canadians support fixing Old Age Security. Data sheets and methodology included: https://t.co/VxRxyE17UY

@bee2216 @Prominent_Bryan Government budgets (both federal AND provincial) spend WAY MORE on older Canadians. We have done the analysis of budgets. They can all be found on our website. Here is the most recent federal budget.

@Mikonbay @Prominent_Bryan We've got a solution to fix OAS that would help young families AND eliminate poverty for all seniors. All it would take is for financially secure seniors to accept slightly lower OAS payments. We did the math. No new taxes, just a win-win. Join us: https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@GrantADDingwall @Prominent_Bryan Want to help us fix OAS? https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@Prominent_Bryan Yes. The ageism.... https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw

[Generation Squeeze - @gensqueeze.bsky.social @GenSqueeze]

@Prominent_Bryan Correct. Canada spends $83billion/year on OAS. $14 billion of that goes to households making $100,000+/year. Yet 400,000 seniors still live in poverty. It's time for reform: https://t.co/YmV6WEkBIw
