CUPE Alberta launches campaign for CPP

November 26, 2025 11:21 AM EST

EDMONTON, AB--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A battle to protect against an Alberta exit from the Canada Pension Plan is heating up with a new website and advertising campaign sponsored by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).

CUPE Alberta President Raj Uppal announced the launch of www.donttouchcpp.ca and a robust advertising campaign. The website allows Alberta residents to easily email Premier Danielle Smith, NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi, and their own MLA, demanding to stay in the CPP.

Uppal says that a move to break up the CPP will lead to smaller pensions, higher costs and increased risk.

“Danielle Smith’s own government surveys show that only one in ten Albertans support her risky gamble,” said Uppal. “But she’s not listening. So even if you’ve already sent similar messages to her before, we need Albertans to send another message.”

“It’s time for her to give up on this extreme, ideological project and give Albertans the security we deserve.”
