Out of all of the clueless comments this article has inspired, your comment has to rank in the top decile. Do yourself a quick favour and google have and have not provinces in Canada. By definition, if you are a have province (only 4 left in the country, AB, BC, Sask & Newfoundland), you pay more in federal taxes than you receive in transfers back to your province. This is done in an attempt to ‘equalize’ the level of funding and services across provinces. So Alberta continues to pay in more than they receive just as do the other 3 ‘have’ provinces. Here’s the link for details on current transfer payments https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada
Quebec once again tops the list of net benefactors within the ‘have not’ provinces.
