For anyone on the fence as to whether we should have our own Alberta Pension Plan it looks like the CPPIB hasn't been doing very well on investments.

Is that because the Turd wants more Canadian content in the portfolio? Who cares if if makes money? We just want more Canadian in the portfolio.

Now we are paying CPP2 on top of it all…

Funny when I talk to the older generation at work (50+) they figure the pension is fully funded and solid til 2060 and beyond, nothing to worry about… and then you talk to my generation (I’m 37) and the younger ones, most figure we will be on our own and the CPP will be out of money by the time we retire….

Who’s right?

I know some recent retirees that the APP scares. I think/hope the uncertainty is worse than the current or future plan…

Also, I don’t remember the CPP investment radio adds before the last few years… Are they unlocking your preloaded stimulus?

The thought of being reliant on a fixed pension scares me. At a time when our gov is spending and printing more and more money. Our money and that fixed pension is worth less and less. That's exactly how there unlocking your preloaded stimulus

Anyone that is relying on CPP and or OAS for the retirement needs to go see a doctor(if you have one) and get their head examine.

so anyone who thinks the Alberta Pension Plan is not the way to go may want to explore other options than CPP now. looks like it may be in a tail spin, from bad investments?

Not to say App may not do the same, but we know who is ultimately steering the CPP! and he has no experience in anything other than selfies and mirrors!
