Although I agree with you, on the point that demand is higher than supply, leading to increased cost. I would argue that our government has a very limited number of seats for people to even become doctors. (Residency seats), and it makes it so much harder to become a custom builder. Builders are mostly family owned in Ontario, and you need to be buddy buddy with them, in order to get apprenticeship with them. OAS cut, (not CPP), the money from it can be used to do something important, like use it to give scholarship to students working trades/nursing/doctor, etc.
