LOL.# I found an article reprinted from the Herald that had the number at $160 billion flowing out of Alberta up to 2003.
On that party's same page, they also said it costs Alberta $500 per second to be in Canada.

Flowing out of Alberta, into Canada.
I look out the window and see the highest quality of life in Canada (probably close to the world).
I'm surprised there are that many complaints.
How rich can we get? Is it a contest?
What would we use the money for? To swim in ala Scrooge McDuck? Build more vaults to hold it? Extend our lead as some of the country's (world's) richest people?
Why not just sticky the Transfer Payment threads, rather than watch a new one pop up every couple days? Same w/ Liberals vs. Conservatives... [/b][/quote]
You should write for Hallmark.
As Fotze pointed out I thought it was pretty pertinent given the McGuinty issue in Ontario and how much play there was in the media. I knew Ontario and Alberta have the biggest defecit in money out to money in, but there wasn't any mention of Alberta's situation at all.
If the Liberals are making Ontario's wrong right to buy votes and not doing the same in Alberta because they know the votes can't be bought, that just annoys the hell out of me.
Here's a thought ... since you seem to be hassled by transfer payment threads why open one that is clearly marked as such?
