Hahaha... Lol...
Oh, Hakan. You kill me.
Bustin out the big words to be technically correct when we're in a battle of words. You win. You got me. The other western provinces indeed pay equalization payments (this year).
So, wanna talk about 2 years ago? Back when Alberta paid the lion's share? Let's talk about the. Let's talk about how Alberta would be today without a piano tied to it's ass... Huh?
How about in two years from now when oil is back up to $100/bbl? Then what? 'Splitting Hairs' is a nice term for avoiding the topic and just being an arse. Good job on pointing out that the other western provinces are paying. I don't recall saying that they didn't. What I recall saying is that Alberta is the province that has earned itself a chair at the table and it damn well isn't getting one. Respond to that, please.
