This is the nut of equalization: There is no conceivable way that Alberta will ever be devastated enough to qualify for payments; and there is no conceivable way Quebec will ever be well-off enough to pay in. It is a rigged system. Just another scam.
UCP Leader Jason Kenney has already announced that, if elected, he will hold a referendum to change equalization and I suspect he could win on that issue alone.
That is just the beginning though. Canada should consider itself on notice. Albertans have had enough.
