That doesn’t make any sense; that’s not how it works. Everyone’s individual CPP contributions are proportional to their pension. There’s no preferential treatment for anybody.
Exactly, I don’t know the actual statistics (as the OC didn’t provide any) but if they actually are paying in more than they’re receiving it means they have a lot more workers than retirees. Sounds like a good deal when factoring in other provincial costs like healthcare for example.
I mean I can still imagine them being upset because they think they make more contributions than they receive in payouts… (false assumption like I just made).
I can imagine Albertans being upset that they make a high percentage of the contributions but get a small portion of the payouts.
