Just because Canadians change their pilot retirement age does not mean that we will follow their example. I do not see our current pilot retirement age changing unless the ICAO changes their pilot retirement age to something other than 65.

I have read that currently, Europeans (senior wide body CAs) are pushing for increasing the pilot retirement age to 70.

I do agree that age 65 rule directly caused major pilot career stagnation across the board for the junior pilots and double furlough at UAL. I have a friend who has been furloughed from UAL for over 10 years.
