All politicians of all political parties are afraid to mention, much less do anything about, the huge, unconscionable leakage in the Old Age Security system - wealthy seniors who continue to receive OAS even though they have incomes in the low six figures.

A single senior can have annual income of about $60K before clawback of OAS begins and even at that, the clawback is ridiculously slow and generous.  So a senior couple can have combined household income in the low six figures before clawback begins.

That's just not right but politicians regard the issue as a live third rail.
