Premier Danielle Smith demands that Ottawa change equalization so that Alberta gets the same per capita funding as Ontario, BC and Quebec.

Damn, didn't Harper and Kenney revise that formula when they were in power?

The 12 Democrats who make the most sense for 2028.

Premier @ABDanielleSmith has chosen not to be informed about the reason why equalization is a constitutional obligation of the federal government.

Finally an AB politician standing up for Albertans. If Carney isn't talking out of both sides of his mouth everything she requested should be no problem.

Then bring in a PST . ON,BC,QC have PSTs, as do all other other provinces.

How about they just force Quebec to include hydroelectric into their revenue calculations?

AB is the only province without a sales tax, so have we actually used all reasonable means to collect revenues? Harper wrote the formula, so Smith should know this.

ok but that's not how equalization works. There have also been decades of time to reinvest in new technologies and fields of economic growth. they cancelled green energy initiatives, they slept on Canibas farming, they slept on I.T. harmed film industry growth...

Didn’t Jason Kenney design the equalization formula?

The change in equalization payments was done by Jason Kenney during the Harper regime to win votes in Quebec. It didn't work.

Now we’re talking 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
