1. Be VERY clear, Jason Kenney is lying through his teeth about this.

Withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan would cost Alberta $133 Billion.

2. That’s TRIPLE the current provincial debt. Alberta would go from having the lowest debt to among the highest.

Why so much? Because doing so requires approval of 2/3 of the provinces. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #calgary #edmonton #yyc #yeg #yql

3. The cost to those provinces of losing AB’s younger population to the remaining CPP fund is $133B.

Kenney hid this report. He didn’t want it out. He doesn’t like what it says because it shows how dangerous his plan is. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #calgary #edmonton #yyc #yeg #yql

4. Kenney can claim the NDP and unions don't understand economics, and some will buy that. But we do understand pensions. We have some of the best pension experts in the country. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #calgary #edmonton #yyc #yeg #yql

5. This is a foolish idea to distract attention from the fact Jason Kenney’s government has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs since getting elected.

6. As a former Member of Parliament, Jason Kenney has the richest pension plan of any Alberta politician. He’s set for life.

The rest of us can't afford this insane gamble with our retirement fund.
