Quebec has operated its own pension plan completely separate from the Canada Pension Plan. They have been doing this since 1966.

The Quebec Pension Plan covers the same retirement needs as CPP, but is managed locally, invests in Quebec's economy, and has consistently delivered competitive benefits.

Alberta has been studying a similar model. Early analysis suggests that if Alberta established its own pension plan, Albertans could receive equal or better benefits at lower contribution rates, because Alberta's workforce is younger and higher-earning than the national average, meaning we contribute more to CPP than we proportionally draw out.

Currently, billions of Alberta's tax dollars flow to Ottawa and return as federal health transfers — only a portion of what Albertans contribute.

In other words, some of your tax dollars help fund healthcare programs in other provinces before a portion comes back to Alberta.

Under a different fiscal arrangement, those dollars could stay here and be invested directly into our own system.

What could that mean in practice?

Modelling suggests it could help fund expanded pharmacare and dental coverage for over a million Albertans, reduce surgical wait times, and make Alberta competitive enough on taxes and quality of life to attract top-tier medical professionals from around the world.

The Liberals are bypassing voters to build an unelected majority with floor-crossers. You can't fix a broken system.
Prairie independence is the only answer.

Alberta and Saskatchewan have the third largest reserves of oil in the world.
Not Canada.

A left-wing Calgary account tried to rig an Alberta independence poll. It backfired badly.

Even after blocking a huge amount of Independence movement supporters from voting, the result still came back:
64% YES
On 9,053 votes.

Canada has already shed 109,000 jobs in the first two months of 2026. This is the cost of being tied to an incompetent Liberal government.
Prairie Independence is our only way out of the chaos.

First they taxed your income, now they are eyeing your home equity.
Independence stops Ottawa from stealing your wealth.

�The only certainty in Canada is economic decline and higher taxes.
Independence makes Alberta and Saskatchewan a massive magnet for global investment.

Texas has zero state income tax and a median household income that is effectively $24,000/year higher than Alberta's when you adjust for the exchange rate and purchasing power. They have the same oil we do; they just don't have an Ottawa taking $20 billion a year out of their pockets.

Ottawa has unleashed economic chaos.
Falling standard of living
Dead-last growth
Runaway debt
Generational unaffordability

Prairie independence means leaving behind a failing system and rebuilding the stability, investment climate, and economic growth that drive prosperity.

With the latest floor crosser joining the Liberals, Canada is on the verge of its first unelected Liberal majority government.
Alberta and Saskatchewan need to leave Canada.

Damn good advice from a damned good premier.
