This.
The equalisation payments are such a small fish in this whole situation. People are looking at it and saying “oh, the feds are screwing us!” but the fact that Alberta is making more money and is somehow worse off seems to be brushed off.
People keep pointing at symptoms and saying “there! Solve that one! We’ll be fixed!” Equalisation payments, carbon tax, pipeline approvals, whatever it is, people just want the bandaids to make themselves feel better, without looking at the issues that make us sick in the first place.
