One of Canada’s oldest veterans, Burdett Sisler, says it’s not that hard to make it to 110 years old—all you have to do is stay alive.

“Anybody can do it,” the supercentenarian said in a recent interview. “I don’t feel any different as any other day really, except I can’t move as fast or think as fast.”
