Another Perspective
“...after it was all said and done a year later, I decided to see if I could afford early retirement rather than spending more of my life in an office. So I moved to Alberta to be closer to family.”
"Can Danielle Smith really get her hands on my CPP contributions?” she asks. “My whole career, 42 years, was in Ontario. I don’t buy her snake oil sales pitch about bonuses and higher pension payments for seniors. I have a decent portfolio but I need that CPP. At this age I really don’t want to move again. But I will if I have to.”
In case you missed it amid all the interest rate-India-Nazi news lately, the conservative premier of Alberta is making noise about pulling her citizens out of the Canada Pension Plan and setting up a separate one. Like in Quebec. But Quebec never joined CPP, so Canada has not seen a province opt out – and people like Joyce are seriously concerned what it might mean.

I am watching and listening to the Town Hall in Red Deer on X and covering a lot of good questions and panelists. Over 10,000 watching.
I wish the media would honestly cover it but it will be slammed on talk shows and newspapers.
I noticed that our membership is growing so people must be mentioning this group around. Welcome.
We have a few regular posters, but anyone can post, so if you come across something especially worth passing on, please do.
For those who may be new or who have been here for a while and never posted our group enjoys articles and other posts that provide a unique perspective and challenge the common narratives, fill in blanks, or simply entertain.
Readers 'like' some articles more than others, but 'liking' to me is more a sign that we found the article useful than that we agree with it. I often 'like' articles that i thought to be are quirky, off-base, or just plain wrong, but worth reading.
