Alberta government thread

[IKnowNothing]

UCP seems hell bent on a Alberta pension plan, no matter what the people say which is unfortunate

"To date, the campaign for an Alberta pension plan has leaned too heavily on logic, financial projections, and actuarial data- failing to adequately address the emotional concerns and anxieties of everyday Albertans"

aka - the numbers aren't as convincing as hoped so let's gaslight and manipulate.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

Most corrupt government in Canada.

BC would like you to hold it's beer...

I wasn't aware many people had an emotional attachment to their pension. I would hazard a guess most people don't give it a second thought and are quite happy to leave it in that hands of professionals.

Is there evidence that Albertans have anxiety over their CPP? By the sounds of it, it's exactly the opposite.

I think the accusation of of a government raiding the piggy bank is a strawman. Wasn't it an Alberta government that played fast and loose with their sovereign (petro) wealth fund?

The UCP are disingenuous, dishonest, and excel at using selective extracts to drive outrage. They are poor financial stewards.

Generic statement about political parties, really.
