They are trying for over 300 b. The entirety of Canada is 400b. Meanwhile they (westerners) work in Alberta (contributing to it from there ) and retire in bc and Toronto(collecting it there as they age).

The actual amount they contribute is approx closer 100b ( which still seems like a lot but that is only because of work age is usually in Alberta over in the west so a bunch of people influx to work there and pay into cpp while they are in Alberta at that point) and now Alberta wants to try to grift it from the average Canadian who should be allowed to maintain it regardless of where they live over the course of their life.

And then they got even more greedy and lopped on a tonne of made up interest (which isn’t allowed to exist anywhere else in Canada but Alberta apparently) and blatantly ignored shifted population per province(maintaining nobody moves provinces as they age out of work) which makes this an illegally inflated imaginary number they think they are owed off the backs of all Canadians expected to pay an interest to Alberta who may not even end up collecting cpp ever in their lifetime either as it’s only ensured when you take from it. And as we know with life: there is no insurance a person makes it to pension age.

They are trying to use this to manipulate all of Canada in which they want to lower the pension for old age making it less return. It’s already too low for inflated cost of living as it is. Like $700 a month. Which is really nothing. Impossible to live near a city or anywhere close to facilities on that.

I would add a side note on CPP that it’s complete horse shit that anyone pays into a cpp via tax on their income but then gets taxed by the CRA again as income when they pull it out like some sort of dismissing return but I’ll admit that might be off topic and more for a stern letter for the MP to focus on that glaring problem instead.

No. Ffs. It’s bears. You live in Canada. This is a reality there are bears here. Not everything is frigging politics and capitalism.

No it’s bears.

It attracts bears and this is dangerous to both bears and humans. Bears get killed just for foraging. It’s not even political so it’s weird how it even went there. You live in Canada. There are bears here.

Some citites try to restrict citizens from planting veg.

It’s important to recognize why this is. It attracts bears and this is harmful to the bears and humans. The bears end up getting killed just for foraging. Important detail as on its own it just sounds like cities are trying to stomp out sustainability but it’s way more story to it than just preventing for the sake of prevention.
