A well-researched piece of journalism on the history of our Canada Pension Plan and how it is currently being managed.

TL; DW: For a while, we had a passively managed CPP fund. Then we switched to an actively managed fund which currently costs us over a billion dollars to manage each year. The rational for this switch is that an actively managed fund can outperform a passively managed fund. Has it? (No, it has not)

    In the video, the creator is very clear that this is not an argument to remove the pension fund and he specifically addresses those concerns (twice, at the beginning and end of the video).

    Wanting good, responsible management of something most of us pay into is not a bad thing. This should not be a partisan issue (which the creator also says)
