Any contributing or beneficiary Canadian member of the CPP in Alberta has a right to opt out of any competing pension plan the province may implement. Hands off the people’s hard earned money. Every worker has paid into the CPP fund every paycheque since 1965 - it wasn’t “magically” transferred. It’s not a tax. #albertapensionplan#canadapensionplan#cdnpoli#abpoli
I live in a province with a provincial police force. It works fine. But the transition difficulties of setting one up for Alberta were obviously a major issue.
Hmm. Is #DanielleSmith backing away from all hot-button #abpol issues, or has she picked just one on which she'll concentrate? It's generally unwise to battle on all fronts all at once.
Keith has already explained why he thinks that would be a bad idea. The article adds that it might be unwise for the same reason as the creation of an Alberta Provincial Police force: transition costs.
