Budget 2025 sidesteps a hard truth: neither the Prime Minister who tabled it, nor the Opposition Leader who critiques it, has found the courage to ask financially secure retirees to share equally in this national moment of sacrifice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfI3... #cdnpoli #budget2025 #Canada

CBC's Day 6 pod: Mark Carney's government framed this budget as being about sacrifice but here at Generation Squeeze we say the budget doesn't do enough to address the structural inequity in government spending that hits young people the hardest.Full episode here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #cdnpoli

Who is being asked to sacrifice in Canada's 2025 federal budget? Read our full analysis: www.gensqueeze.ca/who_is_asked... #cdnpoli #budget2025

The elephant in the room: Canada's deficit is projected to be $78.3 billion this year, and $56.6 billion by 2029. Buried in this red ink lies the same structural tension that has haunted Ottawa for decades: growth in spending tied to age. #cdnpoli #budget2025

"Paul Kershaw (founder of GenSqueeze) has proposed phasing out Old Age Security (OAS) for the wealthiest seniors and repealing a pair of tax credits, the Age Credit and the Pension Income Tax Credit. Kershaw estimates that would free up $14 billion in federal funding" www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Canada's federal budget drops in less than 1 week! We thank Mr. Poilievre for acknowledging that young Canadians are already making sacrifices. But does he have a plan to fix things? We need reform on Old Age Security, Canada's most expensive budget line item! #cdnpoli #federalbudget

"Carney, I explained, has already talked at length about his belief in the importance of the industrial carbon tax and the need to strengthen it. And when it comes to climate policy, there might not be safer political ground than a tax on large industrial polluters."

"It is patently insane to keep handing out billions of dollars to wealthy seniors in this economic environment." @robynurback.bsky.social for the @theglobeandmail.com joins us in calling for a fix to Canada's Old Age Security benefits. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

"Haifang Huang, a University of Alberta economics professor who co-authored the working paper, ranked countries by the change in life satisfaction among young adults. ... Canada shows up near the very bottom, ahead of just four others – Jordan, Venezuela, Lebanon and Afghanistan."

The kids may not be ok...."Canada has fallen far in the global rankings of happy nations. Young people, suspecting our vision of the good life is unattainable, are exploring other options" www.theglobeandmail.com/life/social-... #cdnpoli

Great to see politicians acknowledging that young people are making sacrifices. We’ll be watching to see if events like this one generate new ideas on how we can compensate young people. Our plan to Fix OAS is an urgent first step. www.conservative.ca/youth-meet-a...

This budget will test whether Carney is ready to cut OAS waste to make room for real priorities. That means standing up to those who demand untargeted Old Age Security hikes that would pad six-figure retirements and leave too many seniors poor. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

We've got an idea for a "sacrifice".... Financially stable retirees are receiving OAS payments that could be repurposed to those in need. action.gensqueeze.ca/fix_oas

We've been saying it for years, now the Housing Minister agrees: “To be clear, we need to see average prices of housing for Canadians come down. We have to build a lot more non-market housing to bring down that average cost...” #cdnpoli

Too often the housing market is called “strong” when prices rise, and “weak” when they stall. Such descriptions only make sense if we view housing primarily as an investment, rather than a place to call home. www.gensqueeze.ca/globe_mail_d...

Standing ovation! We'll take it!!! Thank you to all those who came to support us and our vision for a future in which politicians don't betray our kids and grandkids. We support a price on industrial pollution. Please join us: action.gensqueeze.ca/leave_a_clea...

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) proposes an increase to Canada's Old Age Security but it won’t lift most seniors out of poverty. It would pad the pockets of financially secure retirees and add more than $3-billion to the deficit. Full episode: www.gensqueeze.ca/podcast #cdnpoli

"Alberta’s prosperity depends on the wellbeing of its youngest residents just as much as its retirees. A strong budget would invest in both with equal urgency. Settling the strike is the first test of that commitment." #ABpoli #Alberta #AlbertaTeachers www.gensqueeze.ca/alberta_gove...

By giving a little less taxpayer cash to relatively well-off retirees, Canada could: Eliminate poverty for ALL seniors AND have $ left over to support younger Canadians with affordable housing, child care, and education! How exactly? Reform Old Age Security! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEim... #cdnpoli

Thank you to Senator Marilou McPhedran who presented the second reading of Bill S-222 on Oct. 2, 2025. If passed, the bill would lower Canada's federal voting age to 16. #cdnpoli #vote16 vote16.ca

British Columbia allows anyone over age 55 to defer paying municipal property taxes on their principal residence. This program may have made sense when it was created in 1973, but today, most beneficiaries are multi-millionaires. www.gensqueeze.ca/housing_subs...
