Her being against it is the best advertisement for the APP.

This is a Laurentian problem, not an Alberta problem.

Alberta needs to start pulling out just to see what behind the vail of secrecy to see how much money is left

Bla, bla, bla... This like going to the bank and asking to withdrawal all your own hard earned money out to close the account, and they insist that you can't take out more than your daily max & for big amounts it will take a couple of days. She's hiding something, call her bluff

VOTE YES AT THE REFERENDUM. ALBERTA DOESN'T OWE ANYTHING TO A CANADA THAT DIVIDES THEM AND GIVE US THE MIDDLE FINGER. LIKE AND ABUSIVE MARRIGE. TIME TO LEAVE.

I receive both federal and provincial pensions here in Quebec. Maybe Alberta should imitate this structure. Albertans would pay less federal income tax but more provincial income tax. The issue of living out of the province is not that complicated. Requires some paperwork.

Bahhhaaa respect for Alberta....my arse...

She doesn't seem confident that Alberta will remain in the CPP. I noticed too that she didn't make any veiled threats, only appeals to the "greater good", which to me signals that Ottawa has no plan to try and stop Alberta from leaving. And I hope they do.

She spent the pension and is now shitting bricks!

Why so scared Chrystia? Alberta pays the bills, could that be why?
