you've finally read it! Great... I expect that should dispense with any more of your nonsensical statements about the relative equality of federal expenditures. Since you're the one having trouble understanding the Equalization Program and where it actually positions in terms of overall federal expenditures, you need to, as you say, "explain what it is". Please proceed Governor!
Listen there is a formula for equalization and you know it. Other federal expenditures that are not mandatory are at the discretion of the federal government, they can be a whole bunch, they can be nothing or something in between. Are you claiming the federal government makes up for what Alberta gives up in equalization by other means, over and above what it does for other provinces? If so, cite.
