Also not to derail, but Alberta received transfer payments from Ontario for several years. I suspect that this helps with a province swallowing the fact that it must make transfer payments during a period of relative economic strength.

Could the Germans ever realistically look at Greece in a similar light? When will Greece come to Germany's rescue, ever?
