Now, perhaps I am hearing this wrong, but it sure sounds to me like Danielle Smith is saying she wants to grab Albertans' pensions out of the CPP and use them to fund her pet projects, like a provincial police force, and provinvial revenue agency. 1/7 #abpoli
And she says it like it's a reasonable thing to do. (It is NOT!) How does paying for a police force or a huge new chunk of government bureaucracy grow our money into a retirement income? 2/7
She complains that there's more money going into the CPP from Albertans than there is coming out. Well, that's because Alberta has a lot more young working people in the contribution phase, than seniors in the withdraw phase. Doesn't the premier even know how pensions work? 3/7
If she doesn't know, maybe she isn't qualified to run a province. If she knows and is intentionally misleading Albertans so she can get her hands on that cash, maybe she doesn't have the moral fibre to run a province. 4/7
This is really alarming. What are we all to do when we retire and find out she and the UCP have spent, or "lost", the pension money that many people rely on, whether they have their own RSP or not? 5/7
This can't be allowed to happen. How does a premier who was elected by a small percentage of party members, with no general election mandate, think she can make such radical and devastating changes? 6/7
We need to step up and get out and vote on May 29. We are #BetterOffWithRachel and 4 years of a Smith government is unthinkable. 7/7
