Upcoming Pension Town Halls

We had an incredible response to our first series of Alberta Pension Plan town halls - but we know some people still have questions.
So, we've decided to host a few virtual question and answer sessions to address any concerns that may have surfaced and have not been previously addressed.
After all, there was quite a bit of information to digest!
We're hosting these (free) events online so that it's quick and easy for busy Albertans to attend, regardless of where they are in the province.
So, if you have questions or seek further clarification, we encourage you to register:
Wednesday, Feb 7th - 7:00 pm
Saturday, Feb 10th - 12:30 pm
Before joining the Q&A sessions, we kindly ask you to complete a brief homework assignment – watching our original presentation - Alberta Pension Plan 101 - here.
https://www.projectconfederation.ca/alberta_pension_plan_q_a_2
https://www.projectconfederation.ca/alberta_pension_plan_q_a_1
This will ensure that everyone is on the same page, we don't spend the full hour going through the basics, and can get straight into the insightful discussions.

Hope to see you at one (or both) of the events!

Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
