Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
It's extortion by a rogue authoritarian leader/conspiracy theorist group against 40,000,000 people.
The UCP needs a bigger pot of pension funds to prop up oil and gas. They rewrote the laws a few years back to allow them to put health pensions in. I can only assume it went poorly and they need more gambling money to try and cover the debts.
I'm as hard of a "no" on this as possible. I'm absolutely convinced that when the smoke and mirrors collapse the healthcare pensions are gone, don't need to take Albertans CCP contributions w/ them.
