I cared a lot in 1995 and was very relieved they voted to stay. Now I care a lot less.
Anyone know how much my taxes might drop if we lost these whiny, annoying people?

If not zero, than very close to zero. I know it's a big sticking point for westerners but the truth is it's not a big expense. As well, there have been times we've received equalization too, so it goes both ways. Agreed it's not as often, but it is there for us when we need it. Lastly, even if Quebec wasn't in the federation, those payments might just go to other provinces anyway, or other programs.
Doubtful you'd even notice.
