What the "Have Not" Provinces Get

Now you see why the government is trying to change EI, and manage equalization differently. Imagine if Ontario got the same rate of money PEI did? Equalization would be dead, as it should be. Now imagine if Ontarian had Lotto 10/42 as they do in the maritimes, EI would be bankrupted. Dalton has strangely, and effectively attacked equalization by running Ontario into the ground, this wont bode well for his federal dreams, the federal Liberals made a lifetime of power paying everyone off with Ontario and Alberta money, now there is no money.

Oh Ya!

Manitobans thanks to the NDP are the 4th biggest parasites in Canada ... another few years of this and we could be #1 !

Public teat meet Mr. Liplock.

Many thanks to Dulton for turning Ontario, the former powerhouse of the Canadian economy, into the new socialist basket case.

Any one want to buy a windmill or a solar panel?

And he got 2 standing ovations from the voters.

Dulton is so stupid he won't let you spray the weeds blocking the sun from reaching your solar panels.

Local and provincial government here in Nova Scotia is pretty much left all the way, with all the nit picking and micro-management of the business market that is required by the politically correct, nature good, humans bad mind set.

Every new private development, be it a mink farm, salmon farm, fishing, mining, or resource extraction of any sort is regulated and studied to death.

Flip the coin over, and every do-gooder, enviro-centric dream that requires subsidies in the form of our tax dollars is supported.

We can't get out of our own way.

Look at this chart hard all you WR squealers here in Alberta, last week Rutherford had the doofus Rob Anderson on his show squealing about how stupid and wasteful the Alberta conservatives have been, and how him and little miss botox could have a Norwegian type heritage fund here in Alberta of over 500 billion if only we voted the little backstabbers in. Now just think if the Alberta conservatives,( Alberta is a province Rob, Norway is a sovereign country Rob,) think if we had 500 or 200 or even 50 billion in the bank here in Alberta Canada, and our province overlooked hospitals and roadways to save money like Norway, and had 80 percent taxes like Norway, yea I lived there, I know this, think how slobbering angry and jealous Queebec and Ont. would be over that fat Alberta bank account! Thanks to Sun news for posting this and think long and hard Albertans when you hear little WR know it alls squeal about the Conservatives not saving enough oil wealth, this chart would have more Zeros behind Queebecs numbers than Queebec has useless welfare bums if we save any more.

See, I think its a mistake to publish charts like Robert's. Le Quebecois are going to see that and be all hacked off that they don't have the per capita that PEI gets. Then they're going to riot more in Montreal...

... more rioting by deadbeats in Montreal, hmmm...

Never mind. ~:D

"... and our province overlooked hospitals and roadways to save money..."
Gee bartinsky, why are you touting the lefty-liberal line? There are lots of ways to save taxpayer's money other than kicking your granny out of her hospital bed and out to a crumbling curb. King Ralph managed to get the province's bottom line back into the black only to have Red Ed spend like a drunken lieberal, a tradition Redmond is following.

Ironic that the Sun news is based in Quebec. You just never know with those crazy separatists.

Where did Ontario find all the parasitic underachievers? I didn't think they were as lazy and useless as those east of the Ottawa River. How do people expect Alberta to support this useless mass of humanity?

them damn TARsands!!!!

Time to conglomerate the Atlantic provinces into one.

Is there a commonality among these provinces? Is it their socialist agendas? Their denigration of small businesses and private enterprise?

Texas; read the line again, "if", started the line. Our province has great roadways, they need some tweaking, but the squealers think you can just twin 63 before the 5 years of permitting and land buying has been done. What difference does it make if the spending is going into the Anthony Henday or some bank account? Does that fat bank account get me around Edmonton quicker, does it make commerce and business run more efficient? No, think infrastructure.

What is the point of having a country if it is not to share?

Well, I can just about rationalize payments to the Atlantic provinces.

But given its sheer size and potentially limitless resource base, Québec ought to be one of the richest provinces in Canada. Talk about squandered opportunities!

As for Ontario: come back, Bill Davis! All is forgiven!

"What is the point of having a country if it is not to share?"

In Canada's case, it would be more appropriate to say "What is the point of having a country if some regions cannot just loot the others?"

"What is the point of having a country if it is not to share?"

I have no heartache at all with the principle of more prosperous areas assisting less advantaged regions.

But unlike the Atlantic provinces, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec only have their own fiscal profligacy to blame for this situation.

Equalization isn't sharing, Quebecoise; it's coercion. It's forced benevolence, an oxymoron.

This is equalization, if you add in all the other welfare programs and schemes the federal government runs, you would at least triple these numbers.

Scar said: "Where did Ontario find all the parasitic underachievers?"

Dude, are you kidding me? Ontario was the powerhouse of the nation until what, 2008? WE have not changed, what's happened is the Liberals have finally achieved their goal of destroying all the companies we used to work in.

Not to say that there aren't any parasitic underachievers, but they don't figure prominently in the population. Yet.

Quebecois NDP separatiste said: "What is the point of having a country if it is not to share?"

Say, that's catchy! I vote you "share" half your income into my bank account, you generous socialist you.

"What is the point of having a country if it is not to share?" Surely this is a sarcastic comment.

Sharing is when someone gives to someone else willingly.

Taking, as Quebec and the other do-nots do, is theft.

What kind of person supports stealing from one person to give to their friends?

Lying politicians and, oh, pathetic progressive parasites who want others to pay for their education and day care while they attack those being ripped-off as greedy.

Progville sucks.

And would be the point in being a beggar, if you couldn't beg?

And what is the use in being a tapeworm if you have other choices?

We're gonna need a bigger boat!

with oil trending in the wrong direction let's all chant Albert's new song.

PST pst PST all together now.

Followed buy the rest of Canada's chant tax them more.

Good times.

Quebecois - I have several questions.

First, since you are a separatist, then, why are you demanding and accepting money and benefits from the ROC (Rest of Canada)? After all, as a separatist, isn't your entire desire to ..be separate?

Second, if you consider that sharing is a desirable value, then, what is Quebec sharing with the other provinces? Well?

Its not "equalization"...its inter-provincial socialism!

"Where did Ontario find all the parasitic underachievers?"

The LIBRANOs imported them for a voting base....

I'd post something...but the moving van's idling outside....we're moving to PEI to rake in the big bucks!

Kidding.

Well kids you haven't seen anything yet, just wait till commie Tommy gets a few more votes in Ottawa. Lived in communist central for many years under the dippers. Hope to have the ndp so far back we wont be able see them in the rear view mirror. Work hard for my money so stay out of my pockets.

Second, if you consider that sharing is a desirable value, then, what is Quebec sharing with the other provinces? Well?

Exotic dancers.

Hey is BC there?
We have credit rating, or (wink)
the Chinese own vancouver, and the Tides Foundation owns the government
domt ask me who bought the NDP but I suspect the Liberals are getting a pay cut, the dippers are getting the diff.
new pigs to the same trough...

As a Newfoundlander, I can't tell you what a perverse pleasure it is to see that Ontario is a 'have-not' while Newfoundland and Labrador is a 'have.'

We're more than happy to repay the favour re: equalization, but fix your economy ya buncha welfare bums! ;)

So... if I write a cheque for $970.16 and send to to Saskatchewan, my family and I are off the hook. Right?

If that would work, I'd write the cheque now. Not sure who to send it to, though.

Humph.

I'm very happy not to see Newfoundland on that list.
No thanks to the provincial Liberals, who are doing their level best to get us back on.
They are waging an effective campaign against development of the lower Churchill.
And, of course, their disgusting running dogs in the local rag, such as Pam Frampton.
Those people make the Globe and Mail staffers look apolitical!

All it took to turn Quebec into a permanent backwater was Camille Laurin's (and Rene Levesque's) criminally idiotic language law and PET's refusal to do anything about it. I waited a few years because I loved the place. Then, like hundreds of thousands of other Quebecers, I had to leave.

ET:

I am a separatiste. The day Quebec will be independent then I won't demand anything from Canada. But since this is not the reality, in the meanwhile, I think Quebec should take every step to take advantage of Canada in every possible way. (milk as much as possible).

And I don't care if Quebec give anything back to Canada. I just don't care.

Crap I forgot about the $2 Billion/year agriculture industry that involves "artistic" pipes and munchies.
The local kids are quitting the chronic, makes me proud to see them wake up.
D

None of this will matter in a year or so after the coming global financial implosion. We'll all be equally broke.

Kudos to Sun TV for the 'direct' equalization schedule but IMO it is incomplete. Most citizens will infer that equalization of $15.5 billion is the extent of wealth transfer within this country. The Federal government budget is +$280 billion a year.

Start a line by line analysis of the budget and simply 'follow the money'. It makes the "equalization Program' look like pocket change. Who makes the money, where is it spent and who supplies the material? Shock & Awe has nothing on what you will find out.

As an example look at who really benefited from the Canadian Wheat Board. Sure the highly paid management but also look at the supply infrastructure that the CWB contracted with. It made millionaires out of a lot of Ontarians along the Great Lakes. Can I hazard a guess that they were also Libels. Of course, don't expect an expose on the great '5th Estate'.

Quebecois - you are amoral and unprincipled. Is this how you envisage a 'separate Quebec' - with people without respect or care of others, and focused only on their own selfish desires?

Your attitude is that of an infant. But are you a child or an adult?

After all, once Quebec is separate, then, legally you can't demand a thing! So there is no need for your sanctimonious claim that you won't ask for anything!

And now, your amoral, unprinipled grasping of the work and wealth of others is a basic reason why more and more people are turning against Quebec. How can anyone respect such grasping, selfish behaviour? Does the behaviour really represent the values of Quebec - selfish greed and indifference to the work of others?

"I am a separatiste. The day Quebec will be independent then I won't demand anything from Canada. But since this is not the reality, in the meanwhile, I think Quebec should take every step to take advantage of Canada in every possible way. (milk as much as possible).

And I don't care if Quebec give anything back to Canada. I just don't care."

A typically witless response from a predictable source.

It's like a 14 year old saying, "Right now I'm happy to take all I can from my wealthy parents but once I'm 18, I want to be on my own, bankrupt and broke."

Sure, I believe you.

Well, I can just about rationalize payments to the Atlantic provinces.

Even there, think twice. They'd make plenty of that back in remittances if people were expected to shove off to Alberta and get a real job.

They get the money this way because Trudeau wanted to bribe the Atlantic provincial premiers into going along with his blasted Constitution. The premiers wanted the money to go into their own pockets and the pockets of their drinking buddies and strumpets, not the wives of hard-working New Scotsmen abroad.

Trudeau himself, of course, wanted his own to stay in Quebec and keep handing their children over to pedophile priests, rather than wipe the dust of the place off their feet and leave it there with the French language and the Church of Rome.

But given its sheer size and potentially limitless resource base, Québec ought to be one of the richest provinces in Canada. Talk about squandered opportunities!

It ought to be. It would have been had it been allowed to be settled by the Englishmen, Scotsmen and Irishmen who had earned Lower Canada with their blood in the Seven Years' War. For reasons best known to themselves the King's ministers advised him to instead leave it in the hands of the French colonists and their accursed church.

Today, the Americans celebrate the result of what happened when the King's ministers stabbed his loyal subjects in the back---and not for the last time either.

Why has Quebec no money? It's inhabited by the mongrels of the French colonists and the scum of Catholic Ireland, vomited onto Canadian shores in the 1840s when London made it clear that if the Irish wouldn't help themselves they weren't worth trying to help. Lazy, arrogant, ignorant, shiftless scum, unfit for any work a tractor and a combine harvester can't do, combined with all the self-control of a two-year-old, all the courage of a rabbit (when they're faced with a real army, at any rate, and aren't just kidnapping and butchering innocent people and dumping the bodies for the police to find), and all the loyalty of a snake. Whoever called them the "white Negroes of the Americas" was flattering them. The real Negroes of the southern United States can at least claim genuine mistreatment at some stage in their history. The French Canadians have nobody to blame for their misery and poverty but themselves.

The devil take them all and make room for a nation who can make something of the place.

Dick Slater why don't you say exactly what's on you mind :)
But yea in my experience you're dead on.
The only good things out of Quebec are grateful escaped women.
Not that I know anything...

Meaning of word 'sharing' does not include involuntary acts. Extortion would be more appropriate.

As Manitoban I am ashamed.

@grok,

I've been saying that all four Atlantic provinces should be amalgamated for the past 20 yrs. I've lived in NS and NB and my ex is from Nfld. Imagine, PEI (pop ~142K) floats a provincial gov't as well as a number of municipal gov'ts.

This chart makes it obvious the 2 provinces infected with globalist communitarianism are never going to be producers again ( unless they reject public sector unionist extortion and kleptocratic socialism with it) and will be using equalization to top off budgets they will constantly max out with decadent crony payola schemes.

looks kike the EU isn't the only confederation with PIIG members

"How do people expect Alberta to support this useless mass of humanity?"

We can't. That is why we are doomed in the long run. In fact these scum have been importing as many additional third world parasites as they can to quicken the western decline.

Lock and load we're going to need plenty of guns and ammo sometime in the future, all is cheaper and more available than it will be even in the near future.
