One month after finance ministers met to discuss the Alberta government’s intent to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) public opinion polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests there’s little desire among Albertans or the rest of Canada to see Alberta leave the plan.
Stop electing morons and this would be less of an issue
Us city folk tried. 😑
Dat rural voting block fml
I’m sorry for my neighbors. People out here are more interested in punishing Trudeau than they are in improving their own lives
I see so many F🍁ck Trudeau stickers on trucks. How does a person make their personality about hating on someone? It makes no sense.
their personality about hating
Have you met their role models from America?
they’re more interested in punishing his father, but will settle for trying to make JT’s life miserable by proxy.
As if Smith gives a single shit what Albertans or anyone except her O&G backers want.
see also: insurance caps, mining, abandoned wells, etc etc. Some company (via a rich guy) says we need to do (or not do) this? On it! Actual human people say we need to do something? WOKE LEFTY LIBERAL TEARS!
This is going to be the model for elections from now on.
Anger the population into electing an extremist party … convince the people to elect the extremist party … then after the election everyone wonders why the extremist party is doing extreme things … spend the next few years complaining about the extremist party … do it again at the next election cycle.
Thanks for exporting that south of the border. Or wait, is it thanks for importing that from south of the border? Either way, we all pay.
With the advent of the internet, fascism has no more borders…
“Alberta’s young working population and more jobs with higher wages has resulted in Albertans over-contributing tens of billions into the CPP compared to the benefits we’ve received,” states a Government of Alberta video promoting the creation of an Alberta pension plan.
Aren’t the high wages (and young people) predominately because oil/gas? Are those not national natural resources?
Are those not national natural resources?
They are not. The government of Canada owns 0.56% of fossil fuels in Canada. The majority of ownership is by private corporations. Canada’s natural resources have been sold to private companies. It’s their natural resources now.
If you ever needed an example of rotten-to-the-core corruption, this is it, kids! :D
The young people aren’t because of oil/gas - they’re mostly because Calgary and Edmonton are pretty decent in terms of services and actually affordable.
You missed the recent news that Calgary is now more expensive than Vancouver and Toronto?
I fucking dare her
- to try
And I fucking dare Albertans
- to burn the damn – passport – drivers license – house deed – high school diploma
lol ;)
Edit: as a show of confidence, Smith voters should trade in their CPP stats over to her pension plan, indemnify her for blowing it on stupid shit like saving Christmas and fighting carbon taxes and deincorporating towns so they can form freedom villages and offering private schools charters that are actually diploma mills for the ignorant parents to charge the state to deprive their children of an education, etc. Lots of “work” to be “done” hehe
why does the photo look like instant meme?
Better keep voting against your interests, Alberta!
Yup, they’re going to do for pensions what they’ve done for healthcare!
