Alberta’s road to quitting the Canada Pension Plan would run smack into a scheduled 2027 provincial election, with Opposition New Democrats promising to kill the idea if they win.

    What an insanely asinine idea to cut and run from the federal CPP program.

    Surely, the oil wealth will last forever and ever, right?

      And they managed that oil wealth so well that it inspires lots of confidence in how they would manage an Alberta pension plan…

        Please God, one more oil boom, we promise not to piss this one away (Albertans in 2014)

        It’s aged now. The boomers are in their 70s. The wave will be ending in a decade and our population will get younger.

          Our population is on average younger than the rest of Canada… hence why they feel entitled to 52% of the cpp

    Lol they also promised to do this if they won the 2023 election. Which of course they didn’t, because they are impotent.
