This assumption is patently false.
Please explain why Saskatchewan, with comparable natural resources to Alberta, languished with low economic growth and population drain for so many decades, and suddenly with a revised tax regime has done a 180 in regards to economic development?
Government overspending and the resultant tax structure has very much a huge part in the languishing of Canada's poorest economies; Quebec, Martimes, and soon to be Ontario.
