When political power is concentrated in Ontario that is an easier thing to do, isn't it. You aren't in the same politically excluded position as Alberta.

It's funny, but you don't hear the Americans squabbling about the fact that some states pay more than they get (of that i am sure.) They just figure it's for the good of the country.

Yes, well they probably feel that being a part of the country benefits them, where as we don't. This goes beyond transfer payments.
