Stop Alberta from Leaving the Canada Pension Plan

The Issue

As a senior citizen who has worked hard for my pension, I am deeply concerned about the potential move of Alberta leaving the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). This decision would be detrimental to both pensioners and contributors alike. The CPP is a key part of our retirement income system, providing one-quarter of average earnings in retirement for those who have contributed throughout their working lives. If Alberta leaves the CPP, it could destabilize this system and put our financial security at risk.

Moreover, according to a study by the Fraser Institute, an independent Canadian public policy research organization, creating an Alberta Pension Plan could lead to higher administrative costs and potentially lower benefits for retirees. This is not just a foolish move; it's one that threatens our livelihoods.

We cannot stand by while such decisions are made that directly impact us. We need your voice to echo ours in saying NO to this proposal. Let's protect our pensions and ensure that we can continue living with dignity after years of contribution. Please sign this petition today!
