Stop electing morons and this would be less of an issue

As if Smith gives a single shit what Albertans or anyone except her O&G backers want.

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.

"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?

Better keep voting against your interests, Alberta!

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?

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

I wonder how accurate this is when over half of our province voted for someone pushing this exact policy. As an Albertan, I've never understood the independent pension plan. You now have less people paying into it meaning that is less expansive and beneficial to those who need it for zero reason. We also now have to take the burden of managing an entirely separate pension plan too

Albertan voters decided to "fuck around" and now they are in the "find out" stage.
