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.
