I get it. Free money is good for Alberta, just not for those spoiled babies in Quebec.

Alberta certainly has the ability to reduce tuition and daycare costs to Quebec levels if it chose to do so. I suppose it needs to be pointed out again for the thousandth time; Quebec does not spend more money than Alberta. Both provinces spend roughly $14,000 per resident per year (source). Quebec simply spends its money on different things.

It saddens me to say it, but the spoiled babies of Confederation these days are smug, self-entitled Albertans.
