They were fourth in 09-10, behind NFLD, MB and PEI. Out of 10 provinces. Like I said, they're usually closer to 4th in the province than first.
The point that Quebec's spending isn't that bad is a warranted point, and an important point to bring up whenever people here complain about the bloated Quebec social program budget, but the pot shot at Alberta claiming they are the worst spenders isn't warranted, and for how educated the poster is on the situation, I have a hard time believing it was an honest mistake.
