The bottom line is CPP and OAS were designed to help alleviate poverty in seniors, which used to be a big problem. If you are earning $100,000 a year or even $75,000 a year you are not impoverished.
There are seniors out there who cannot work at all and are forced to live only on CPP and OAS. And there are working people who live on $12 an hour in Canada.
