When it comes to distancing the province from the feds, Kenny has a few options at his disposal. One that he's mentioned is to withdraw from the Canadian pension plan.

Kenny says that that increase in capital would open up investment opportunities, and give Alberta significant control over a program currently facing a crisis due to Canada's aging population.
