We obviously do agree to disagree, I'd just point out it is easy to not take the economist point of view if your household hasn't paid 40k in the last 10 years into this program. With nothing in return. I don't know about your situation in particular, but buying into this thing versus taking money out might slant your view as to how 'human' this issue is.

Sorry, I don't get it?
I guess I must be an even out person then - as I have paid all this money into equalization, and now apparently I am reaping the excesses of it
? Again I am exaggerating things a bit, but still. I just don't get it. Equalization is there to provide the approx same level of services at the approx same level of taxation across the country. Is it perfect? Nope. But is it ok then to make people in one province pay 10 bucks to go to school, and in another 1000? To me, no. But I guess they will all move to the 10 buck place, however.
(nobody would move with a weeks notice? There are a fair number of people that have. Most have followed your logic. They look for a job...look look...all the sudden a company from the west will tell them they have a job, but they have to move out there asap. There are people from here, with families left behind, that have moved out west to start work in under a week).
