Alberta’s NDP is launching a series of in-person town halls across the province in light of what they say is overwhelming public concerns over the UCP’s plan to pull the province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
“The UCP have refused to meet with people face-to-face, so we’re going to give Albertans that outlet to express their concerns,” said Heather Sweet, Alberta NDP MLA for Edmonton-Manning, who will co-host the first town hall Tuesday night in Edmonton with three fellow MLAs and Leader Rachel Notley.
“We have received thousands of emails, letters and calls from Albertans who are deeply concerned about Danielle Smith’s plan to gamble their retirement security,” adds Sweet.
“The Premier is attempting to sell this plan, filled with made-up numbers and a laundry list of unknowns, while she won’t even ask Albertans the simple question — ‘do you want to leave the CPP?’
