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.

This sounds a lot like the Brexit commentary when it was being started.

  • grandiose announcements of how much better it would be
  • how the 'rest of EU' was milking them dry
  • outright lies of what Britain was sending to the EU
  • false promises of what they would get when they left
  • and at the end muddle the conversations with tangential issues but make them sound like it is really really germane to the overall discussion
