One month after finance ministers met to discuss the Alberta government’s intent to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) public opinion polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests there’s little desire among Albertans or the rest of Canada to see Alberta leave the plan.

    I wonder how accurate this is when over half of our province voted for someone pushing this exact policy. As an Albertan, I’ve never understood the independent pension plan. You now have less people paying into it meaning that is less expansive and beneficial to those who need it for zero reason. We also now have to take the burden of managing an entirely separate pension plan too

      If you migrate to or from Alberta, you get nothing. The ‘others’ can suck it

      And if you move to BC at 60 years of age, you still get nothing, you rest-of-Canada-lover you.
