This is your daily pension announcement: Travis is running for the UCP leadership! Without a doubt as @jkenney's preferred candidate. Not a good strategy at all, given the financial mistakes he has made (pensions included). #AbLeg

I am reminded of an interview that I did with a magazine from NY. They asked me why the UCP would be doing this to teachers? I gave a long technical answer. I shouldn't have. The answer was (and is): this was something that they could hurt teachers with. No more motivation req.

After all, the message was to be don't feel too confident about your deferred salary retirement savings. Travis has prevented any pension fund from accessing the highly competitive market for investment managers.#AbLeg #handsoffmypension

As Minister, Travis would have staff bringing stupid money saving ideas to him all the time. His mettle is decided by the ones he says "no" to. A parallel is in the whole insulin pump debacle: someone came to the Copping and said "I have a great idea to save money!"

Travis may have thought he could save some money but he was so blinded by ideology that he couldn't even ask for a financial analysis. Here is the prediction for @aimcoinvests' costs after subsuming ATRF: 49 basis points. we will get to find the actual cost very soon. #AbLeg

This is your weekly reminder that the GOA in no way guarantees your pensions. It is, in fact, guaranteed by the assets on deposit with @aimcoinvests. These assets are NOT "public money" no matter what Travis said. #AbLeg #handsoffmypension
