Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault says while Alberta is legally allowed to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan, doing so would be a 'one way ticket,' with no chance of return.
Quebec has had its own pension plan for a long time. I expect should we go through with this, it’d be a similar mechanism to however they handle it.
Still a terrible idea though, because the UCP literally can not do math, or successfully manage finances.
But, the idea isn’t unique, Quebec already did it… And the fact that the UCP isn’t pointing that out as justification to me speaks volumes about the political hatred for Quebec by the Albertan right wing.
I guess you could maybe just let all albertans who have retired take from the cpp going forward from the start date, then everyone after that just contributed to app, but that will take like 45+ years to fully switch over and need to deal with the overlap somehow throughout that time.

From what I read Quebec didn’t leave though. They just never joined

If you do that so that anyone born after 2004 or whatever only contributes to app it’s not gonna be fair to them when the app goes bankrupt
