Sorry should have been clear I was responding to this, more of it was kind of a funny statement to me. I mean again I don't see much of an anti-Ottawa sentiment from people in this province, whereas I definetely see and hear lots of anti-Ontario and Quebec sentiment. Personally I definetely agree the transfer payment system isn't terribly fair to be funding other provinces budgets and then watching them screw up. But CPP is a strong system and opting out is foolish to me. If you want to introduce APP and offer it as an alternative thats fine, by all means.
