If the math checks out, it all makes sense and AB can do it, Albertans won't. Too many people are chickenshit and will only hear it's a major gamble of your retirement money...."we might be getting screwed up the ass, we might not be, but I can't risk it cuz it sounds scary"

nah we don't trust them anyway
just keep the spin going ya know

Care to explain?

Alberta's total net contribution to Canada is massive regardless of how you slice it.

Is there a shot that can cure that epidemic?

Probably have better luck coming up with a shot to cure covid despite it seeming impossible at this point.

Yes. I'm just saying the vast majority of people don't cap out. Not only do you have to earn the max, you have to pay CPP for many, many. many years, esp. when you're older.

This is a CBC sponsored video, but it better explains what I was trying to say about worker migration and retirement

OK so what's the amount of worker migration? What's the number?

It's got to be a lot. At least half of people I've worked with have retired or relocated outside of the province.

Me and my wife both contributed to CPP in Alberta for most of our productive careers. There is hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people like me.

If none of that is accounted for, it could be substantial.

Also the fact that if every province used the same calculation method to leave CPP, there would need to be 9 times more money. So the amount Alberta will get is probably that value divided by 9... Then distributed by a percentage to all contributors who have left the province.


Don't get be wrong, I have always just assumed CPP would collapse by the time I'm ready to retire. Just saying from a factual point of view, the number being sold by Daniele Smith seems misleading.

*That is to suggest that ES wants to suck BJ. It's not a comment on his employability or really anything to do with his job situation. Suck him so hard that he attempts to suck the life out of him.

I'm old, my wife and kids have sucked my soul and will to live. I am merely a vessel.

The trick is to have the Government job that requires no effort but provides lots of benefits, plus an actual job/ side hustle like most of the corrupt politicians who conveniently find ways for their personal companies to receive tax dollars for also not providing any useful services.

But how else would people like Preston Manning get paid?

It's almost like any smart person or province wouldn't want to be part of a government and regulatory environment determined by East coasters, the Frenchies and the 416.

If Quebec can't separate, Alberta doesn't stand a chance, for many reasons.

That's not to say I wouldn't vote if the opportunity came up. But we have to consider everything that goes along with building a country - even if we have some pseudo-EU type agreement.

Maybe one should look for what has happen to England after Brexit, for lessons.
