ChrisVarcoe I’m on board with these actions.

ChrisVarcoe Because the UPC is so awesome with money ... 🤮

ChrisVarcoe You mess with my kids’ CPP and you’ll have to mess with me.

ChrisVarcoe AIMco is a joke amongst those in the financial industry amongst the bottom dwellers in the industry.

ChrisVarcoe Brilliant idea. Albertans in control of their own retirement plans instead of Ottawa/Quebec. We may even be able to pay low income seniors a, 'living wage'.

ChrisVarcoe Not my CPP please.

ChrisVarcoe Excellent ideas. 20B heads east via CPP every year--on top of the 20B bludgeoning we take on equalization. Bring it on.

ChrisVarcoe Hold on a minute here - there are much more important issues to deal with first. Economy, employment, natural resource development etc. ..... etc. ...... etc. ......

ChrisVarcoe Sounds super expensive and inefficient. A real finance minister would reject these Big Govt redundancies to protect tax-payer money.

ChrisVarcoe Destroy as much as you can before the election🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

ChrisVarcoe Good.

ChrisVarcoe After all, the management of government pensions to date has been so....... ummm oh...ummmm.......

ChrisVarcoe There’s money left over after building the moat?

ChrisVarcoe TravisToewsUCP Not happening. You don’t touch our pensions. Ever.

ChrisVarcoe Dear CalgaryHerald: At what point, is your paper going to run a headline that reads 'UCP is pissing away money like there's no tomorrow'? Can not wait to vote Toews ass out fast enough....
