    but Alberta’s beef is that we send billions out east and dont get any of it back.

    Except that pipeline that Trudeau built for Alberta.

    Or the health transfers that Trudeau was trying to send to the provinces, but every conservative provincial government rejected it because the feds wanted guarantees that the money would be specifically used for Healthcare and nothing else.

    And those are only 2 of the biggest ones in recent years.

      Ok, the use of “any” isn’t accurate. We dont get MOST of it back. We send about 20 billion a year more to Ottawa than we get back. Compared to what Ottawa takes, the “gift” of a pipeline isn’t exactly altruistic of Ottawa considering the billions in tax revenue it generates.
