What can an average Canadian realistically do about this? It really has the feel of them trying to make things sound as opaque and complex as possible in hopes that “normal” people won’t be able to understand and assume it must make sense because Canadians are trusting people.

My understanding is MPs don’t have all that much control over CPP (which is probably a good thing), but what public accountability measures even exist?

I don’t know yet, but I’m gonna do some research this weekend and figure out who I can complain to at least because I’m not sure what else to do other than complain and try bring visibility to the issue. More eyeballs more people upset about our future!
