Alberta RCMP officer and wife face multiple fraud charges westernstandard.news/news/alberta-r…



Attention Alberta seniors and Albertans who may retire in the coming decades... In the coming independence referendum, some fibbing federalists may try to scare Albertans that they would lose their CPP or OAS benefits if Alberta separates. In reality, your benefits are portable anywhere in the world. As far as Canada Pension Plan (CPP) goes, benefits are always portable anywhere in the world: in independent Alberta, in America, in Europe, in Asia or anywhere else. You may still owe taxes on the CPP amount, but this would also be the case in Canada. Regarding Old Age Security (OAS), after 20 years of residence in Canada (after age 18) the benefits are fully portable to the country of choice for beneficiaries. Only those who migrated here recently may be impacted (if the government of Alberta decides to not guarantee benefit levels for migrants). The only way for the Canadian government to get out of paying CPP or OAS benefits to Albertans would be for them to transfer funds to the government of Alberta in exchange for Alberta taking over these obligations to CPP and OAS beneficiaries. This may happen, but is not really relevant to beneficiaries, since they'll get paid properly one way or another. In an independent Alberta, an Alberta Pension Plan (APP) would be more robust than the current CPP. Not only is the CPP vulnerable to plunder by Ottawa, but the current system requires that workers in Alberta subsidize retirees in other parts of Canada to the tune of billions of dollars per year. In an independent Alberta, the APP could either increase benefits for seniors, reduce premiums for workers or a combination of both, since funding would be superior to the current CPP system. In any case, the financial and tax benefits of Alberta's independence will be very significant for all Albertans, and seniors need not worry that their decades of contributions to Canada will be somehow robbed from them once we live in a free Alberta and are unburdened by the robbers and plunderers in Ottawa. Here is Grok AI confirming what I said about CPP and OAS in case you have doubts. 👇
