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

You mean the differences between apples and apples per capita? lol

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.

Do you really think I can't tell the difference between apples and oranges?

member Granny, speaking of the internal divisiveness within the Wet'suet'en, let's not have this waldoGem buried too deep before you get a chance to comment on it... cause surely you weren't ignoring it, right? 

12 part twitter thread unrolled: "It's factually inaccurate to say the {Wet'suet'en} hereditary system is universally opposed {to the CGL gas pipeline}"

Waldo, if you expect me to take your comments seriously - increasingly unlikely - you have to stop saying ridiculous things.

A provincial injunction can always be appealed to the appellate court, and to the Supreme Court of Canada to determine it's constitutionality.

That wasn't done by the Wet'suet'en,  but it could have been.

Constitutionality always takes precedence.

Your statement, "nothing to do with the Constitution" is absurd.

  considering all the focus had been on protestors interfering with the national/provincial economies, how surprising is it you deflect from the rail blockades, from the port blockades... back on over to the Wet'suet'en blockades that have, effectively, been given short-shrift throughout this thread! Nice try though! But hey, if you think the rail/port blocking protestors can take their cases to the SCOC seeking remedy to allow them to keep messin' with Canada's national/provincial economies, good on ya! I mean, who should be surprised at anything you say after your most gleeful statement emphasizing, as you did, "how easy it is to shut down Canada". 

as for the Wet'suet'en blockade and the B.C. court injunction granted to CGL... that reads, "The defendants may genuinely believe in their rights under Indigenous law to prevent the plaintiff from entering Dark House territory, but the law does not recognize any right to blockade and obstruct the plaintiff from pursuing lawfully authorized activities"

of course what you're not transparent about in your personal 'unfair dealings' is that a prior interim injunction had already been in place for "a year or so"... and the RCMP were stationed there in proximity enforcing that interim injunction. More about that judges order granting the most recent injunction:

The judge's order confirms an interim injunction that has been in place for the last year, and includes an order providing RCMP with the power to enforce it.

"In the face of the interim injunction order, the defendants refused to voluntarily comply with the order and enforcement action by the RCMP, as well as ongoing RCMP presence, was required to ensure compliance," Church wrote.

The judge said the company has all the necessary permits and authorizations, and had met the legal tests for an injunction.

and as I read/interpret, it's the same 2 hereditary chiefs involved in CGL seeking the prior interim injunction as were served with the latest injunction. The same 2 hereditary chiefs with the "loudest voices" drowning out all the other hereditary chiefs in favour of the CGL pipeline... drowning out the Band Chiefs in favour of the CGL pipeline... drowning out the Band Councils in favour of the CGL pipeline... drowning out the very majority of the Wet'suet'en people who are in favour of the CGL pipeline.
