It seems to me this idea of opting out of federal programmes might score some quick political points if you’re a have-province, in that it could be argued you’re sinking more into them than you’re getting out. But Alberta has historically had a boom-and-bust economy, and as such, cutting those federal lifelines seems unwise. But what do I know?
I DO live in Alberta, and the general consensus is that (a) almost nobody wants to leave the CPP, but (b) Smith will make it happen, regardless of logic or the will of the people.
I am sure their math will be just as poor for this as it was for the Pension Plan
Yeah how’s that going? (I don’t live in Alberta.)
