🚨 Premier Danielle Smith on equalization: "If Quebec were to pay market rates for electricity, even two cents more, they would get $4 billion less in equalization. The formula actually rewards them for subsidizing electricity and reducing their own income stream."

⚜️🖕🇨🇦 : I am so fed up with Quebec demanding they get special treatment in Canada, at the expense of everyone else. Are you just as fed up? The Bloc Québécois demand that Quebec tax dollars to only be invested in Quebec. The Bloc Québécois says they must protect key sectors of the Quebec economy & the French language. At the same time Quebec takes in huge sums of taxes from the rest of Canada through a rigged equalization formula that gives Quebec over $13 billion every year in “equalization”. This despite Quebec having a comparable economic strength to British Columbia, which is forced to pay into equalization. Quebec gets to hide their #1 source of natural revenue (Hydro) from the equalization formula, making them poor on paper only. Quebec also gets extra Canadian taxpayer cash for… 💰Immigration 💰Heritage 💰Culture 💰Languages 💰French only government jobs 💰Corporate bailouts 💰SNC Lavalin contracts across 🇨🇦 Meanwhile Quebec demands the rest of Canada shift away from oil & gas to Quebec approve clean energy. This directly hurts Alberta and the rest of Canada that relies on equalization payments, to keep their Provinces from becoming super poor. This also stifled foreign investment because it adds an extra layer of uncertainty to any major oil & gas project. Yet Quebec is quite happy to allow foreign oil to pour into the Canadian economy. Time to treat Quebec like everyone else. There is nothing special about a Province that leeches off the poor, while claiming they're a Nation in waiting.

The irony of “equalization “ payments in Canada. I don’t blame Alberta for wanting to stop being the money machine.

This Hour Has 22 Minutes: "How can Alberta afford to lose $15B in federal income tax?" Easy: We send $15B/year to Quebec in equalization. Stop equalization = Zero income tax + Double CPP/OAS + $10-15B surplus The math maths. #Ableg

Why Keith Wilson believes Alberta will never get a fair voice in Canada. Equalization is unfair, but the deeper problem is structural. Alberta pays, builds and votes, but Quebec and Ontario still decide Canada’s future. Independence is the serious solution.

I never supported Alberta independence. Then I started paying attention to equalization payments, Ottawa’s power, and who really controls the system. That’s when my perspective changed. Watch the video 👇

🌹🖕🇨🇦 : Pierre Poilievre says the CPC will oppose and campaign against, Alberta independence. Poilievre promises, as the Prime Minister in waiting, to unite Canada by helping Alberta resources get to global markets, while removing other irritants. Does Pierre Poilievre intend to end equalization in Canada? I am not so sure he is because the CPC would lose votes in Quebec.

Develop your natural gas supply.... "it would create a new revenue stream for Quebec so they don't have to be so reliant on equalization (from Alberta)." Danielle Smith offers advice for Quebec.

#WATCH: Y.F Blanchet says if the nation of Quebec wants to have discussions about a constitution, it's none of Canada's business. Amazing, they can tell Canada to fuck off while still demanding equalization payments. When will the West tell Quebec to fuck off?

Yves Francois Blanchet says that he will go on the world stage to crap on Quebec while he uses Saudi oil, ignores his own cement plants, and collects Alberta transfer payments "We will go on the world stages to say that Alberta is destroying, destroying the environment of the whole planet." 🤡 Blanchet's smug superiority is based in being a sponge for equalization payments. Cut him off from all those dirty billions and see how long Yves chante cette chanson arrogante Yves-F. Blanchet 🎗⚜️

Premier Legault says any changes to Quebec's dairy cartel are "not negotiable” Quebec refuses: Pipelines Trade competition Fair energy policies But they gladly accept BILLIONS in equalization from Alberta & the West. Who’s really holding Canada back?

Canada exists to extract wealth from Alberta, while shaming them for getting it from fossil fuels. Unfair representation in parliament. Unfair equalization payments. And, they mock you when your leaders lose their seat in near Ottawa. Its time.

CBC's Lyndsay Duncombe did a piece on equalization for the National, interviewing Trevor Tombe and Tegan Hill of the Fraser Institute, but pretended the math and formula is complicated and hard to understand. It isn't that difficult. Quebec keeps domestic hydro rates artificially low through Hydro-Québec, which slashes its measured fiscal capacity and inflates its equalization payments by billions Meanwhile, Duncombe omits that Quebec deliberately suppresses other resource development (oil/gas exploration limits, etc.), further reducing its own-source revenues—yet provinces like Alberta get full clawbacks for actually developing theirs. Quebec polls show that they are open to both resource development and pipelines Conveniently omitting that crucial detail from the national broadcast is once again giving Alberta separatists ammunition. They can rightly argue that the full story isn't being told Trevor Tombe Danielle Smith The Fraser Institute

The only reason that’s there’s an oil industry in Alberta today, is because of Federal equalization.

For too long, Albertans have been told the issue is just equalization. But Keith Wilson lays out the bigger truth. Alberta does not have a real voice in Confederation because the system was never designed to give us one. Join the movement:

Fun Fact : In 2019, the separatist Bloc Québécois said oil & gas producing Provinces in Canada should be forced to pay more equalization money, to Quebec. For a Federally funded party that wants Quebec to leave Canada, they sure seem to love leeching money away from Western Provinces. But we are told Alberta separatists are the villains in Canada.
