Many Canadians remain opposed to Alberta’s decision to leave the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), according to a recent survey. The study, conducted by Angus Reid and Statistics Canada, found that a significant majority still support CPP membership across all provinces except Quebec.

The opposing view is particularly strong among younger generations. Nearly three out of four Albertans surveyed believe it would be worse for them personally if their province left the CPP. This sentiment extends beyond Alberta, with over 80% of Canadians aged 34 and older supporting staying in the plan.

Economic factors play a key role in this opposition. Provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan are aging faster than the national average, which could lead to reduced contributions from future generations. These regions also tend to have higher incomes compared to other provinces, further offsetting their pension pot contributions relative to their benefits.

Youthful Albertans were particularly critical of an Alberta-led province leaving the CPP, with 57% expressing they would be worse off personally if it happened. This sentiment aligns with a broader opposition across all age groups: only 24% of Albertians believe their province’s departure would make them better off.

This survey underscores the growing public support for maintaining the national CPP structure, as provinces like Alberta consider their potential move could have far-reaching economic implications.
