🚨 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."

From the Next Town Hall in Fort McMurray in August Trevor Tombe on equalization ""Just just to illustrate magnitudes here, if Quebec's power prices were 2 cents a kilowatt higher, and they would still maintain the lowest power prices $0.02 a kilowatt higher, and we didn't fix the size of the equalization program as we do now, then Quebec's equalization payment would fall by about $4.2 billion this year.""

Albertans already tried reforming Canada from within. In 2021, 62% voted to challenge equalization. Ottawa refused to negotiate, the other premiers refused to engage, and nothing changed. That referendum proved Alberta’s only real path forward is independence.

#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?

I don’t want to cheat on Pierre Poilievre but I think Danielle Smith just became my new Conservative crush. 🤣 This is the intersection of logic, class & strong leadership. She wants equalization payments to be….well, equal. I agree. They should be.

⚜️🖕🇨🇦 : 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.

🇨🇦 Danielle Smith introduced a bill making it easier for Albertans to vote on leaving Canada. If they do? - A 6.6% GDP hit. Worse than 2008 📉 - $25B lost in equalization. Meaning higher taxes or less programs. - Energy prices through the roof 📈 Should Alberta stay—or go?
