CPP v. APP is not just a policy debate, it’s personal 

Court Ellingson, Alberta’s New Democrat Shadow Minister for Finance calls on all Albertans to fight for their CPP. 

“Your pension isn’t just a line on your pay stub. It’s the reward for a lifetime of hard work. The promise that when your working years are over, you’ll be able to retire with dignity and security. 

“That’s why Albertans are rightfully alarmed by Premier Danielle Smith’s push to pull the province out of the Canada Pension Plan and gamble our retirement savings on a risky, untested Alberta Pension Plan.” 

(You can read Court’s entire column on why our pensions should not be gambled away by Danielle Smith and her UCP government as it appeared in the Edmonton Journal.)
