The Canadian federal government just bailed out a bunch of underwater pensions by increasing CPP (which itself is under fund if you look at it the way non-CPP pensions report https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Pension_Plan#Unfunded_l...)

CPP isn't for government employees, it's for everyone. The government doesn't run the pension plan for it's employees, they have corporations that do that, so they're independent of the government, and won't allow them to play shenanigans with being underfunded.

Sounds ripe for funding with a tax on property purchases by foreign nationals.

They might get lucky once. I wouldn't count on another windfall when the pension plans get in trouble in the future.
