the separationStokerInChief, Alberta Premier Jason... has been musing about a 'made-in-Alberta' pension plan, one administered by Alberta Investment Management Corporation, AIMCo.

apparently, Alberta government officials state there could be a strategic advantage for Alberta development; suggesting that with many lenders shunning oil and gas, AIMCo might buy more stakes in the industry
=> ever solidifying the Petro Republic of Alberta;D

oh my! CPP's investment return is @ 8.9%... Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) is @ 2.3%

sure Alberta Premier Jason - sure!  ;D

c'mon member wilber... you drop a ta-da go-fetch link and can't manage to actually say a damn thing about the article... not even offer a quote from it! What's your point with the linked article? Why are you so reluctant to actually offer any comment about it? Talk about YOUR dumbness!

*** breaking news ***

member wilber's ta-da go-fetch link highlights the impact of the 2014 oil-price slump on Alberta's economy... the waldo isn't sure if Mr. Tombe has also done similar analysis for events like, oh say: the Newfoundland cod fishery collapse that caused 12% job losses to the entire workforce, 300K manufacturing job losses in Ontario, the 45K (permanent) job losses associated with the cratering of BC's forestry industry. The waldo's crack research team is investigating to see if, as in Alberta, within those respective provinces the job loss circumstances also led to separation anxiety and calls to break up the country - stay tuned!

Quote from: economist Trevor Tombe
In 2014, 150,000 people worked in Alberta but lived somewhere else. So the job losses that we saw during the recession — at worst, 130,000 job losses — a lot of that was actually felt by workers who lived in provinces elsewhere. So the unemployment rate being higher nationally is not just because Alberta's unemployment rate is higher.

the "West Alberta Wants In!"... the whining progression


this Reformacon mofo has his hands all over it! --- Preston Manning: “Secession needs to be a part of the strategy, but not the whole strategy.”

Quote
Manning made the case that Alberta and Saskatchewan need to define “what is a fair deal for the West” within confederation and put it forward to Ottawa, but added that if it fails an independence referendum needs to be a part of the plan.

Quote from: CPC MP Michelle Rempel of Calgary Nose Hill
Justin Trudeau has not come close to seeing the force of three million mobilized Albertans actively opposing his policies and actively showing the country the consequences of a unity crisis. So my message to him is giddy up


by the by: continuing the now defacto pattern where CPC MPs/leader refuse to identify/recognize Justin Trudeau as... Prime Minister Trudeau.

I'm working toward setting up an arrangement between Trudeau and Kenny similar to what Chretien suggested as a means to sort out the issues between himself and Renee Levesque. I'm thinking JT and Jason should duke 'er out in Charlottetown. (I'm puttin' odds on Justin)

Separatist sentiment exists, people are angry.  It's better for Kenney to acknowledge it and channel it to productive federalist ends than to pretend it isn't there.

Is Kenney doing something wrong in seeking "a new deal" on equalization? Aren't premiers supposed to advocate in the best interests of their province?

Is the idea of withdrawing from the CPP and forming an Alberta Pension Plan wrong?  Quebec already does this. Why is it bad?

Is Michelle Rempel wrong in voicing her constituents' concerns in Ottawa?  When "the Orange Wave" surged in Quebec, Jack Layton's party expressed a sense of responsibility to act as an advocate for Quebec in Ottawa.  As Alberta and Saskatchewan have overwhelmingly chosen the CPC to represent them in Ottawa, doesn't the CPC have the same responsibility?

What exactly are you guys upset about, exactly?

Kenney will use it for his own political gain...   nothing about it will be productive.

Some premiers are...   Horgan catches a lot of flack for advocating for BC.  A “new deal” to try and screw other parts of the country so ALberta can enrich itself some more?   The old deal was made by Kenney.   The man is a political ****.

No idea...   I will defer to experts, but haven’t looked into it yet.

They always overwhelmingly choose the CPC.  Difference now is that they may be advocating for separatism because they lost the election.   It’s disgusting.

Ummm....   I think you’re projecting.   No one, other than Wexiters are upset about anything....
