Question: Can unions pull out of AIMCo? Can they find a different place to invest the pension funds?

maxfawcett.bsky.social•214 days ago

I don’t think so.

Here's what the kerfuffle at AIMCo was really about:

lots2say21.bsky.social•215 days ago

As nefarious as Danielle Smith's UCP is, to me they seem equally transparent. They are hell bent on acquiring a portion of the CCP, with out a mandate from the electorate. Pensioners only want one thing, stability.

lots2say21.bsky.social•215 days ago

Likely Alberta, if they receive anything at all, it will be closer to 116 Billion, which is a rough calculation based on population, CCP input and CCP expectations. Not enough to risk losing an election on. I wish they would move on to better priorities.

How do I bookmark this? I will have to take a screenshot and save it on my phone.

Sad but true. And Harper is not the person I'd want being chair of a pension fund like that.

I find it rather concerning that Smith has repeatedly appointed prominent old Conservative leaders/personnel in positions of power. Which will confirm her agenda of taking power away from her residents wishes.

ritzmotu.bsky.social•214 days ago

I ask with all due respect... get ready how? I've signed petitions, wrote MLAs, government & still here we are. What can ABs do?

bsbruin.bsky.social•215 days ago

I'm sure it will be fine.

Because my wife and I are former provincial civil servants, our pensions are now at risk with these idiots in charge. We should never, ever, allow them to take CPP assets as well.

Ugh.

Said exactly this a couple of days ago.

Not her fucking money.
Not Harper’s fucking money. Not Alberta’s fucking money.

BUT if PP gets in he’ll do everything he can to me the threshold to steal it

DO NOT vote Conservative.

*meet (not me!)

*meet the threshold

Hello @elizabethemay.bsky.social

I'm your constituent. I earned my money in Alberta. I will have no say on my pension plan and whether Smith is granted the right to take it over.

We need MPs to block this. It's undemocratic we have no vote on this.
