Alberta Premier Danielle Smith speaks to business leaders at the Global Business Forum in a file photo from September.
Polling shows that, despite the rosy picture the UCP is painting of higher benefits and lower pension contributions, leaving the CPP remains a widely unpopular idea in the province.Premier Danielle Smith has told Albertans that starting a separate provincial pension plan would bring residents higher benefits for lower contributions. Now she has to convince people about this rosy future.
According to the first major poll conducted since Smith began her persuasion pitch to remove Alberta from CPP, the proposal remains about as widely opposed as it was before. Fifty-two per cent of Albertans think it's a bad or very bad idea, compared to 19 per cent who think it's a good or very good one, and 15 per cent who are in the middle, the Abacus Data survey shows.
For the pullout to be approved in a 2025 referendum, Smith and other proponents would have to convince all those people who consider it an "OK idea" to support it, convert some opponents to supporters, and ensure those enthusiasts come out to vote in greater numbers than the APP skeptics.
