Well Quebec historically has the lowest tuition in Canada.

BC has far more generous social programs.

Most provinces are deep in debt.
Alberta could afford to have lower tuition than Quebec or more generous social programs than BC. The government we have elected has chosen other priorities.

Yes Alberta is lucky, it's a easier to not make hard decisions when you know an extra checque will be arriving in the mail.
I'm not sure whether or not you're talking about the equalization cheque other provinces receive from Ottawa or the oil royalty cheque the Alberta government receives.
