I imagine that would be in 2021 combined with a referendum on equalization.

A political analyst at the University of Saskatchewan is predicting a Wexit candidate will succeed in a byelection, if one gets called in Saskatchewan or Alberta.



"If there's a byelection in Alberta or Saskatchewan, there'll be a Wexit candidate. My prediction is, and I'll put money on it, is that Wexit candidate wins," Greg Poelzer said.



"The sentiment is that strong."

Provincial pension plan holds 'substantial benefit' for Albertans, internal AIMCo report shows



By withdrawing from CPP, Albertans would see "a substantial benefit" as their costs to contribute to a provincial plan would drop, states the report, obtained by Postmedia.



The 19-page analysis was completed in September and calculates a sustainable pension contribution rate would fall to 7.21 per cent (and possibly lower) from current CPP base plan levels of 9.9 per cent, if an Alberta plan was established.



"An Alberta pension plan would lower contributions ... relative to current CPP contributions for an equivalent set of benefits," the report states.



Kenney said about $40 billion of Alberta premiums could be repatriated, while AIMCo, a provincial Crown corporation, would administer a provincial pension fund.



Alberta clearly has the population best suited to sustaining a pay-as-you-go pension plan with its high working-age population and relatively low retired population share," it states.



Depending on how much would be transferred into the Alberta pension plan from CPP, a larger amount ($54.5 billion) would mean Alberta's sustained contribution rate could be as low as 6.85 per cent, according to the study.



"This is ... a substantial benefit for Albertans, reducing the effective level of taxation within Alberta and increasing Alberta's tax advantage," the report states.



If Alberta withdrew from the Canadian plan, contribution rates in the rest of the country would need to rise to 10.41 per cent, according to the report.

This is a good idea if Alberta and Saskatchewan pulled out of EI completely and created our own EI system.

Alberta could create its own EI system to cover high-wage earners in volatile industries, report says



Maximum payouts for laid-off workers are based on national averages but Albertans earn 20% more



High-wage workers are under-covered by Canada's employment insurance system and should have a voluntary top-up option, according to a new research paper from the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy.



And, if the federal government won't do it, provinces like Alberta should consider creating their own parallel EI system, say the paper's authors.



That's because Albertans make significantly more money than people in the rest of the country but, when they lose their jobs, their maximum EI benefits are based on national income levels,

NEWSHarper Cabinet Minister calls on Premiers Kenney & Moe to hold immediate independence votes

Former Stephen Harper Government House Leader and long-time Reform/Conservative Party MP Jay Hill has come out swinging for an immediate move towards Western independence.



CALGARY, AB: Former Stephen Harper Government House Leader and long-time Reform/Conservative Party MP Jay Hill has come out swinging for an immediate move towards Western independence.



Hill called on Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to immediately table legislation in their respective provinces for debate, leading to a referendum on independence from Ottawa.



"Premiers Kenney and Moe should have been prepared to table legislation to trigger an independence referendum in the worst case that Trudeau was re-elected," said Hill. "They should have already debated this in their caucuses beforehand, and be debating this in the legislature right now."



Hill said he strongly backs Kenney and Moe and how they have governed, and believes that they will come around to support independence in short order.



"I believe that the Saskatchewan Party and UCP will respond if there is sufficient pressure from their constituents."



While Hill supports the two allied premiers, he said that if they refuse to come around to independence that he may turn his support to a newer party to carry the flag, but that he believes it will not be necessary.
