Reading the list contained herein it truly shows that Albertan’s whether rural or urban truly share the same concerns about what is occurring in this province under a Government intentionally disregarding the majority of the population to feed their base they have rage baited and gaslit for decades.
When I first heard about Alberta wanting to create an Alberta Pension Plan and they calculated that they were due over 50% of the value of CPP I thought that's ridiculous. First, not everyone in Alberta intends to retire there, so why should their retirement funds be under the control of the APP? Second, why should CPP give them anything at all? CPP does a good job of delivering retirement funds to Canadians around the world so let CPP do it's job! Third, Steven Harper is in charge of the Alberta provincial employees pension plan and would probably be in charge of the APP and he managed to deliver deficit budgets for all but one when he was PM, so why would you trust him to do better now? I am sure there are better reasons for not setting up the APP, but those are the winners for me.
There was a recent report on the CPP and its standing globally. It has high ranking and is envied. You can bet bottom dollar the APP regulations would be written in such a way that Smith (UCP) could her grimy hands on funds contained within if required to support O&G.
This list pretty much covers it all. No wonder our heads are popping off. I would only add that we don't want AIMCO taking our teachers' pensions and sending them nose-diving, after years of careful management where we were finally ahead! The list is long, sad and depressing. I hope we see changes soon, due to public pressure, petitions and recalls.
Such a mess.
The list is lengthy. The UPC are deaf to the citizens while kissing-up to big business.
This should be the provincial referendum question.

I’m hoping the recall works! She needs to get out or be pushed out!
