I'm taking classes through a TN college right now and just got an email about "Divisive Topics" that I can report my professors for to get them fired.

You can actually start collecting CPP at 60 and OAS at 65.

All those poor young kids who now have to wait even longer for the previous generation to age out and make room.

How does this work? You must stop working at "retirement age"? Or is that when your benefits kick in, meaning you must work until then?
Retirement is a financial position, not an age. In the US you can start withdrawing social security at age 62 (at a reduced amount/month). They consider 67 to be full retirement age, meaning you get the largest amount (per month) if you wait until then. A lot of people treat that as their retirement plan, so it ties an age to when you stop working.
