This is being framed as as 'we don't like the feds' issue. So lets play that game.

Don't like the feds.
Think the feds are screwing Alberta over.
Think the Liberals are morons.
Think the BoC has been acting like a drunk kid on crack.
Think the entire economic outlook for Canada is dog####.
Think other provinces are happy milking the Alberta Advantage.
Etc
Etc
Etc

But.

CPP is well run. Well designed. Results are there, have been there across multiple governments. They have managed their way through recessions, austerity, stupid government spending, on and on and on. Oh, and they have had the balls to look ahead 20-30 years and realize gotta pay more in to get the program healthy.

Why, why, why would ANYONE look at it as ANYTHING but a massive success, and especially these days a major bright spot for Canada.
