Sixty-five is no
longer mandatory retirement age in Canada, so a few of the men I learned from are
still on the job, though they have definitely slowed down. Most are gone despite the change in law. Some even
took packages and opted out early. Others who thought they’d work past sixty-five
found they were running out of gas and changed their minds. Still others had unexpected
health crises or family drama.
Hey, there are no
guarantees for any of us, right?
