    “For something this big, Albertans deserve the benefit of a rational, adult conversation.”

    And we are going to make one of the central premises of this rational, adult conversation that Alberta is owed over half the CPP’s fund.

    Please.

    Better headline:

    “UCP wants to raid CPP to feed more money into O&G.”

      Exactly. The only reason to push separation from the CPP so hard is because they want to meddle in the investment selection process to prop up specific companies in violation of the fiduciary responsibilities of the pension manager and at the cost of Albertans’ pension growth and stability.

      The only other angle I can think of is separatists deliberately trying to fracture Alberta away from Canada.

        I can imagine Albertans being upset that they make a high percentage of the contributions but get a small portion of the payouts.
