A little more comment. It is not inevitable the Canada will go life + 70 unless they are coerced into it. And when I say coerced, I mean just that. If you look at the Australian conversion from life +50 to life + 70, it was done by US coercion. Specifically, the US made it a non negotiable part of a major free trade agreement with Australia. They swallowed it in order to get the free trade pact.
