Those were some of worst excuses I've ever heard. I think he probably should have already retired anyway. It doesn't seem like he had any interest in actually doing his job anymore.

Age 73, why was he even still on the job? Are we letting retiree aged people have all the jobs now?

Well, they have to eat and they will never land a new job, so they're stuck making do.

Yes, there is no maximum age for a job, no mandatory retirement age, that's age discrimination.

There should be a competency clause for people who are old enough for CPP payments.

Absolutely. Performance or safety metrics. But it can't be based on age.
