OTTAWA — A new poll shows that three-quarters of Canadians, and most retirees, support scaling back Old Age Security (OAS) for seniors making more than $100,000 per year. The poll, conducted by Research Co. for advocacy group Generation Squeeze, finds that 73 per cent of Canadians support targeting OAS to households with incomes below $100,000. Just four per cent of seniors are excluded from OAS altogether because their incomes are too high. The results of the new poll are largely consistent with a poll Research Co. did for Generation Squeeze in 2024. The poll also found that some six in ten Canadians support phasing out the Age Amount and Pension Income tax credits, which Generation Squeeze says will save Canadians an additional $7 billion annually.
