Meanwhile in Alberta......?

Typical socialist believes everyone’s income belongs to the government. Why did mustardman forget to mention the real reason Alberta is unhappy?

Maybe the map should be broke down into smaller areas than provinces.parts of sask and Alberta has not been holding up their financial share of the pie also.

that would be racist, my friend

I Do live in Sask but as a Canadian Taxpayer, Alberta has some MAJOR Problems that will affect All taxpayers. Like the 100 Billion to clean up orphaned well which Alberta has ONLY collected $226 Million on!!! Bad management in the Petro State of Alberta will be paid by the public purse while the Oil Companies LAUGH all the way to the bank

$100 Billion? Is that what you read in the commonwealth?

that would be racist, my friend

It would really point out the provincial NDP ridings. 🙀 These hammer and sickle ridings would have the highest unemployment and crime rates coincidentally I’m sure......

Alberta Energy Regulator -Robert Wadsworth estimates 100 billion to clean up oil wells and another 30 billion for pipelines-
his figures Not mine

Yet,,, yet,,, you won't agree Alberta should retain more of it's own revenues, to address those problem wells, and maybe hospitals and schools to boot???

You seem fine with allowing revenues generated on the prairies sent to subsidize Quebec hospitals, schools and daycares,,, dude, your effing daft!

Cleaning up Alberta’s oilpatch could cost $260 billion, internal documents warn

The liabilities include costs that companies must assume to shut down aging and inactive oil and gas exploration wells, facilities and pipelines once they are no longer needed. Another significant part of the liability is the clean-up of toxic tailings ponds from oilsands extraction mines near Fort McMurrray. The ponds have sprawled to cover an area the size of Kelowna.

The tailing ponds are used by companies to dump the waste from the mining of bitumen. The process normally requires hot water to separate bitumen from the oily deposits of sand beneath the boreal forest in Alberta, leaving behind a yogurt-like sludge.

Very little in the heritage savings account. A monstrous environmental liability. A particular commodity on a world scale that is one of the most expensive and carbon intensive to extract. Some of the lowest royalty revenues on the planet. A boom and bust economy that lurches from boom to bust based on Private sector profit over long term economic stability. A worldwide push to reduce carbon emissions by reducing fossil fuel use that will eventually cause demand to wane. What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmmm, on that map Conservative Manitoba gets $1,900/person equalization while PQ Quebec only gets $1,600.

Who is cleaning up Muskrat Falls or the old asbestos towns? Who will clean up all the tailings ponds from rare earth and lithium mines.

Anyway AB wont be getting anything because we have a new dead beat province to support. NB getting a 10% increase in funding, off ABs back again.

Resource hypocrite sure like the revenue while the bash the industry. They are the worst elements of our society. A Marxist cult has taken root.

When the recession hits and it hits BC and ON next especially their RE markets, Canada will crack.
