Cost to expand existing hospital in Medicine Hat: $220 million.
Paid by: Province of Alberta
Cost of blue ring art piece: $0.47 million.
Paid by: City of Calgary
What do these two things have to do with one another?
My point is that Albertans who fume and moan about transfer payments to Quebec and New Brunswick seem perfectly fine with the province transferring money from Alberta's cities to the rural parts of the province. Me, I don't see a difference. A vote for Wildrose is a vote for less provincial funding for the place I live.
