Call just started. Who’s listening?
edit: This call was for northern Alberta. Other regions will get their own calls.
I didn’t have time for government propaganda this evening. Anything surprising?
Surprising the amount of people who seemed to be against it, or at least weren’t all for it.
Even the panelists sounded like they weren’t completely sold on it.
Mostly it sounded like an episode of Cross Country Checkup (cbc radio program).
Thanks for your summary.
I’ve heard of polls that show 70% of Alberta’s oppose leaving the CPP. And if you all Albertans whether or not the majority favour leaving, we mostly realize it’s not popular.
This raises the question of why Danielle Smith would put this forward. Unless it’s either to incite outrage from her base, or to decide against leaving the CPP and say: Look! I listened to Albertans.
The popular theory is the cons want to get their hands on the money so they can use it for their own personal gain, likely by “investing” in oil & gas companies.
I didn’t know about this. Anyone have any info?
It was just Northern Alberta today. They`ll be doing four more for other regions.
Were reporters allowed in this town hall? I’m wondering if there will be a recap or a summary for those of us that missed the townhall.
You can probably find it on youtube.
edit: I didnt find it.
Thanks for checking. Hopefully there will be some articles about it tomorrow.
Thanks for following up!
I have the same questions as some of the callers. We need more details on how this would work, how it would be structured, and how it would be used. I’m not keen on letting the government use it to fund other ideas, like the provincial police force. Our pensions should not be used to shore up the budget.
