What does this mean? Are you saying Native people dont pay taxes. You should come over to my house. I pay taxes and I'm native. I do enjoy ignorant people though, their is alot of them in Alberta!

Not really shocking but it still annoys me that Alberta continues to fund the other provinces.
Why? We're all one country. It's not the Republic of Alberta.

Stop hi-jacking the thread, the topic is how TylerSVT is the new Jordon.

It's equally ignorant to suggest there's not a massive issue with Canada's native population. The blame can be passed around, but that doesn't change the fact that it's there.

To be fair, what are your thought on Natives, Tyler?
Specifically the T'su Tina nation.

Transfer payments are lame because the provinces all manage their own budgets. Some provinces without the budget spend like they have the money, only because we are paying for it. We tighten our belts, and they don't. That is why the average person may be choked about it.

Give me a break, you mean there isnt actually reservations paid for by the taxpayers? The lump sum payments made when you turn 18? The subsidized housing, tax breaks on incomes, smokes, booze ect? Its great that you pay taxes, plenty don't. Nothing like a whoa me attitude when theres a pretty big problem.

The article sounds like Toronto whining about more tax dollars going out than coming in. Is Alberta becoming more and more like Toronto?
