Ha, that was my first thought as well.

Manitoba really has nothing, Sask and Alberta are both going to struggle badly, and BC is pretty much worthless.

At some point we're going to have pretty much all of the provinces requiring federal bail outs because they're all going to be running mass deficits.

Suddenly out of nowhere, this country is becoming a collection of welfare states.
I mean at least some of that has to be laid at the feet of the myopic Harper governments.
