Maybe there’s some merit to this Alberta pension plan idea after all.

I’ve previously written about how the whole thing seems daft and any promised referendum would never pass muster with most Albertans who would wisely choose security over adventure when it comes to their collective retirement.

Still, changing your mind isn’t yet deemed a Criminal Code offence, although it’s certainly enough to get you excommunicated by previous social media fans along with angry denunciations of treason.

Actually, I still think the pension plan won’t fly and was only initially pushed by Danielle Smith’s government as a sop to the Take Back Alberta cohort that helped her become premier, and that has recently taken control of the UCP’s executive. It’s a red herring, promoting splitting from Canada without actually splitting from Canada, if you get the drift. In short: yet more political posturing.

So, what’s changed? It’s the reaction........
