The conservative Fraser Institute has released a report Wednesday which says Albertans make a disproportionate contribution to national programs such as the Canada Pension Plan. Fraser Institute is a supporter of improving Canada’s ability to ship Alberta oil abroad and of oil and gasoline self-sufficiency for Canada. Many people agree. But it may seem disingenuous to imply that Alberta citizens are treated differently. Young people everywhere make the same contribution to CPP but Alberta has more young. It is a useful reminder to anti-pipeline advocates however that without the Alberta contribution to the CPP, the pension plan might not be entirely viable. Or so says Fraser.
