Quebec gives EV rebates up to $8000 and receives 13 billion in equalization, much of it from Alberta. Add the federal rebate of $5000 and you have $13,000 in subsidies to EV buyers. That money doesn't come from renewable energy revenues.
The biggest contributors to Quebec equalization are, in order:OntarioQuebecAlberta
Quebec receives 13 billion in equalization. Per capita it receives about $2000 more from Ottawa than it contributes in revenues. Only four provinces contribute more than they receive, Ontario, Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. Per capita, Albertans contribute the most by far, about $5000.
You mean the differences between apples and apples per capita? lol
The $13 billion figure is not per capita, and provinces contributing more than they receive is ambiguous. OLO
Correct - individual taxpayers make the contributions. Equalization transfers come from all of us.
Do you really think I can't tell the difference between apples and oranges?
Teck Corp. has said they need $75 bbl to make the Frontier Project viable. It's currently sitting around $50 bbl with no signs of increasing appreciably. Even I can figure out the math on that project.
That’s why these projects need access to tidewater.
The sources of equalization aren't equal,
Access to tidewater is the only way to bring it up to ~$50.
