Exactly, and the feds have failed miserably at doing their job in this case. So you take the fight to them...hence the referendum to reopen the equalization formulas.
As for appropriation, its not like a Liberal PM hasn't used that exact clause before when it was in the best interest of the country...against an NDP premier to boot!
