While shooting themselves in the foot even worse. They are truly adapt at cutting off their own noses to spite the face.
This is such a terrible idea. I hate being an Albertan.
Seriously. If this goes through I'll probably move. Alberta doesn't deserve my "productivity" at that point.
Sounds like they're fishing for any bit of evidence to support their cause.
I hate everything about Smith, she's the fucking worst. She'll do anything to fuck over Albertans and line her friends' pockets.. all at our expense.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Alberta is to begin telephone town-hall consultations with the public starting next week on whether to quit the Canada Pension Plan.
An engagement panel led by former provincial finance minister Jim Dinning announced Thursday there will be five 90-minute town-hall discussions over six weeks, each session focused on getting feedback from a different region.
"Now that the LifeWorks report is out for discussion, our panel has been tasked with listening to Albertans and hearing their thoughts, views and concerns about a provincial pension plan," Dinning said in a statement.
The NDP says Albertans have already made their feelings known in numerous public surveys that suggest a majority don't want the province to touch CPP.
The NDP is holding its own online consultation with Albertans on the topic on Oct. 19 at 6:30 p.m., hosted by caucus finance critics Shannon Phillips and Samir Kayande.
"The fact that the so-called [government] consultation on the future of the Canada Pension Plan does not include any in-person town halls is a move of pure cowardice," she said.
