Note that the value is #calculated according to the official method defined in the #CPP #legislation.  #Alberta didn't #invent this out of whole cloth.

Alberta's share is large because they have always had a younger-than-average #workforce, meaning fewer #payouts from CPP, and higher average #pay and lower #unemployment, meaning higher contributions to CPP.

The numbers actually stand up if you look at them.

Maybe we should be grateful for their #generosity all these years?
