    Provinces complaining about equalization

    It could be paralleled to having a government backstop program like agristability that doesn't work....

    I feel their pain....

    Choke on it....

    Quebec to receive $1.4-billion equalization boost while oil-producing provinces face deficits – Don’t expect Manitoba to join the chorus for western separation. They will receive 2.3 billion next year.


    What a country

      Manitoba will do more good for Saskatchewan by sending the hydro power our way than that 1.5 billion and counting CCS white elephant at the power plants...

        In related news one super ignorant editor has written a column that Alberta thanks the rest of canuckistan for buying 60 year old rusty pipe in the ground by complaining about equalization. As in the Kinder Morgan nationalisation is doing AB a favor. This pathetic country is home to the stupidest peoplekind in the world. Abandon hope.

                I just can't understand Ottawa and Quebec, why they are dragging their slippers on pipelines which would

                bring more money into Canada and would benefit both through taxation and transfer payments. How many

                employees do you know that aren't in a mental institution would slap their boss across the face after

                receiving a paycheck every two weeks.

                Is there a shortage of oxygen in the east or do their respective finance ministers not realize it's a fiscal no

                brainer to sell our resources that all countries in the world would gladly take, as opposed to borrowing the

                money. I'm sure they don't run their own households and businesses that way. Please let the western

                provinces make some money . . . . . . we will share.

                  One thing that is forgotten is that the federal government will earn approximently $200 million per year from the existing Trans Mountain pipeline or roughly a 4.5% roi. What was the roi when the federal government bailed out GM and Chrysler?

                    The East will always get their money, regardless of oilsands revenue. It will come from the tax base. Liberals have no problem in raising income, payroll and sales taxes to cover their costs. And just making up new taxes. Cutting spending is not even on the radar ever. Only way out of the madness is to separate.

                          Yup , meanwhile the mob in Quebec launders millions monthly, Quebec buys terrorism sponsored oil and dumps millions of gallons of raw sewage into the St Lawrence every year .... what a 🤬joke.
                          And chucky wants to punish his fellow farmers with more wealth distribution in a carbon tax cause they might warm up their vehicle outside a hockey rink once a week .
                          It’s hard to fathom there is any common sense anywhere anymore .

                            If their isn't a lot of liberal MPs carrying cardboard boxes out of the parliament building next fall, there could be more farms than usual for sale next winter or a least passed on to the next generation before Morneau takes another run at inheritance tax on corporations . . . . when you are infected with liberals or Ebola the end results are exactly the same, only one takes a little longer.

                              Quebec has the nerve to say western Canadian oil isn’t socially acceptable in Quebec but....

                              Quebec will receive $13.1-billion in equalization payments next year – a $1.4-billion increase – while Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador continue to be left out"
                              (Globe and Mail article)

                              Looks like the system is broken and Trudeau just fast tracked extending the current equalization formula.
