Funny that people are ROOTING for the destruction of our nation.
Anyhow, Ontario pays far more into Canada than it gets back. I don't think that is being disputed.
However, Ontario seems *WILLING* to pay into Canada, as we continue to vote for the Liberals (I don't... I voted for Ed), but Alberta always seems to be yelling "MINE! MINE! MINE! HANDS OFF! IT'S MINE!" Which is a very generous attitude I must say.
When I pay my taxes, I know I'm paying my taxes, plus topping up that being paid back in Nova Scotia. I know that the schools in Nova Scotia are getting money from my portion of the equalization payments. I know the hospitals in Newfoundland are getting some of my money. And you know something? I'm happy to do so. To me, it's not all "MINE MINE MINE! HANDS OFF!" My parents taught me about sharing when I was just 3.
