I won't mention the gifts you gave me either, which, however, were very sweet, I should mention.
That said, the question is totally appropriate. However, it rests on a source of confusion, which I would like to address at the very start. Sixty-five is the age of eligibility. It's not the age of retirement. No one forces anyone in Canada to retire at a particular age. The age of retirement is a personal decision made by families and individuals on the basis of their health, their family circumstances, their ability to retrain if they have lost their job, or the ability to continue their job in the labour force
The age of retirement is a personal decision. The age of eligibility says that, if needed, at 65 years old, Canadians can have access to a retirement pension that will prevent them from living in adverse and severe poverty.
