I don't think its moral indignation though. I think its a scenario where people are actually hurting and in trouble here, and then see newspaper headlines about a probable Bombardier bailout and the like. I also think that most Albertans are fine with equalisation in general; we're not opposed to helping fellow Canadians at all, but if we aren't going to get help from the federal government in times like these then what has to happen for us to be on the receiving end or at least break-even?
I wouldn't call that moral indignation. It seems like a pretty reasonable thought at this point?
