How many current-Albertans grew up and were educated in "have not" provinces but moved here as adults where they now pay taxes and contribute to the provincial labour force and economy? My wife and I both fit that description, as do many of our coworkers and friends.
Second point: how come many Calgarians and Edmontonians aren't equally upset that their provincial tax dollars are disproportionately spent in other areas of Alberta the same way they are about their federal tax dollars being spent in other provinces?
