“We saw, in late October, a little bit of an increase in the percentage of Albertans who were inclined to support the move by the government to create an Alberta pension plan,” said Andrew Enns, executive vice-president of Leger.
“When we fast forward to January, you’ve just come through December, which is typically a month where a lot of public affairs-type issues tend to drop in intensity because there’s other distractions,” he said.
Since then, Enns said, the pension discourse has died down, especially after receiving pushback from the feds, which may have resonated with the UCP’s voter base.
And overall, Albertans in general seem to be feeling slightly less informed than they were three months ago about what the provincial government wants to do with their pensions, according to Leger’s survey data.
The survey shows that 69 per cent of respondents know about the province-only pension proposal, a decrease of two percentage points since October.
Ultimately, Enns said, he believes the Leger research indicates more work has to be done to convince Albertans that an Alberta-only pension plan is the way to go.
