The East is coming after Western pension funds. Have you heard about the kerfuffle at FCL Refinery with Unifor? Unifor want to take over the FCL Pension funds. CO-OP says no f-cking way and is going to lock them out.

A new poll suggests Alberta is the province that most wants to separate from Canada — not Quebec
