I would doubt that any party wants to run the risk of eliminating those pensions at this point. That isn't on the table and if it were then you would see a huge anyone but Wildrose campaign. Imagine the backlash if your employer tried to change the rules when you were/are roughly 10 years from retirement, especially in a province which has enough money to send everyone a cheque for $300/year because they have no idea what else to do with that money.

Jeesh, you mean changing pensions like every employer in North America has done in the past 20 years outside of governments? Simple, you either reform or you go bankrupt. Except governments never go bankrupt, they go into debt. You argument that we have money so we should just spend it all is the very definition of socialism.
Wildrose has promised reform to pensions through transition allowance payment changes, and reduction of severance packages. They've even proposed legislation for this in the past. I know you irrationally hate everything and anything wildrose but the facts are there.
