About 30 protesters gathered in St. John’s during the lunch hour Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012 to direct their anger at the federal government for considering changes to Old Age Security (OAS). Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirmed Ottawa may implement a gradual hike in the age of OAS eligibility. The OAS system provides a pension for people age 65 and over in Canada. Such a move will not prove popular for those who showed up for Thursday’s protest, including representatives from several unions and provincial opposition parties. — Photos by Joe Gibbons/The Telegram
