I think an Alberta Pension Plan is an absolutely horrible idea. The CPP is well run and it's always better to have a bigger pool.

I 100% don't trust the UCP about anything. I especially don't trust them to run an APP at arms' length. I think they are pushing this for one of two reasons. 1) They want to use the money to fund their pet projects and supporters and don't give a #### about Albertans in general. 2) They know that it isn't possible and are using this to push for separation or inflame the Alberta vs Canada rhetoric even more. (Can they seriously stop doing this? I don't care what parties are involved, I want governments to work together, not waste time and resources complaining.)
