Alberta is part or Canada, but doesn't like being treated as a sugar daddy and getting nothing but **** and abuse for their trouble.
Sure the wealth pay more but why is Alberta last in per capita transfers?
They get this BS from people blaming them for not investing the future while those same people are benefiting biggly at their expense.

The 20 billion difference would pay to build two refineries a year, free daycare, university education and all that other stuff Quebec has partly at Alberta's expense..

are you purposely mixing your descriptors to futz with interpretations of what you're actually intending to say? If you want to discuss equalization/transfer... don't mix terms that presume to speak to transfer (as in federal spending/expenditures).

Alberta has residents with the highest individual median income in Canada... and a median age of 36, making it the youngest province in Canada. Highest income => greater income taxes; Lower age => less pension distributions/less need for health care spending. Riddle me this: why might there be less federal spending in Alberta - that might be worth considering, or not...
