I noticed my link was for 6 year old article. I wasn't happy about that, but I felt the main points were stressed.

Interesting the CCPIB site uses to 2000 as a base year to compare what the fund's value is now. The fund's value has gone from $44B to $103B since 2000. I don't know if that is enough to keep up with inflation and the increasing number of retirees, but it certainly is encouraging.

I still don't plan on getting anything from the CPP, and I still think Alberta would be better off going it alone, but if the federal government has fixed the pension plan I will applaud whoever is responsible.
