Assuming a modest 4% return, 2% inflation, both living to Dad's age 95, taxed in Ontario and assuming Mom collects just half the CPP max... they will attain a $42,124 combined lifestyle. They seem to be OK.

(Oh, and this doesn't require them to do any part-time work)

Cypek - that is a non-functioning link, and I can't bring it up on the MoneySense site. Can you post a working link?
