Where has the Canada Pension Money gone?

There has been a lot of talk in the past couple of decades that our Canadian Pension is dwindling , to the point of nothing being available when my generation gets to retirement age (which is not that far away).

In the past few years I have been fighting for my rights which have been taken away by a provincially Legislated Non-Profit Organization, this Organization is responsible for the coverage of those who are injured or become ill from their work place. As many of the permanently disabled/ ill have come to realize the hard way is that the WCB's across Canada will do anything to protect their profits, which they use for international meetings, rewards to safety groups that basically do nothing, wages and most importantly their pensions. So we can see from their side as to why they want the employers of Canada, which includes our Provincial/ Federal Governments, our RCMP, our Military and those who stand guard of the Criminals that are kept in our prisons.
A recent court document that I had the opportunity to view, dealt with a Disabled by Occupation employee that fit into the latter of these categories, one sentence really caught my eye from the court transcript: " Your Honour,  the court of this province (Alberta) has no jurisdiction regarding the WCB " the Judge agreed and the lawsuit against WCB was dismissed.
(Alta WCB Act sec2.1: States " the Board has the same Rights, Powers & Privileges of a Natural Person")

The WCB of Alberta has made it clear that they do not have to follow the laws that are written up for all Canadians, nor do they have too fulfill their Legislated responsibilities to those who they were created for back in 1913,  as the tens possibly hundreds of thousands of Disabled by Occupation will verify and that have been lead to a life of poverty.

There is now a new way of preventing poverty of which the WCB of Alberta hopes all disabled by occupation will follow, they have their spokesmen going around talking to other Disabled by occupation into forgetting about their WCB benefits and to collect the pensions they are entitled too from Canada Pension.

Many have been informed of this "New" prevention of Poverty, only to find out that once they are accepted for pension , whether it is CPP or ASIH, they lose their benefits of WCB, including any monies that may still be owed to the claimant. Upon collecting CPP, depending on your age and contributions, will determine your pension and upon reaching retirement age your pension will then be recalculated for the amount you previously received and "deducted accordingly".
Mean while the Canada Pension decreases, the employers pay their premiums to WCB, who does nothing for the disabled Worker, the disabled worker's life is borderline poverty "until retirement age" and those who go around helping the WCB promote this "New Poverty Prevention" have no idea of what they are promoting, what should be promoted is the fact that the WCB of Alberta and across Canada for that matter should be stripped of their Judicial Immunity, laws that are in place for insurance carriers to be enforced to fullest extent of the law, and to prevent non-profits organizations such as the the WCB from having over a Billion in profits that is handed over to others, when it is meant to keep those Disabled by Occupation out of poverty and to assist them in gaining control of lives, instead of being treated like the poorest people of 3rd world countries.

After All the Majority of Disabled Workers became so from building this Province/Country , not by sitting behind a desk dictating what is best for others, destroying lives of Canadians, basically stealing from our pockets, when their only goal is to Profit themselves and have others succumb to their demands, sounds a lot like Organized Criminals to me .
