Viewpoint: Breaking down the inequality of equalization
Poll
Yes
My recent article on Alberta in Confederation has been criticized that my bias lacks an understanding of this controversial federal program – equalization. Alberta’s contribution was a misleading statement because it did not explain that federal revenues are from payments by Albertans and not from the government.
Thus, this essay will delve into this program with references to four Alberta academics/economists – Robert Mansell, Mukesh Khanal, Trevor Tombe and Mark Milke. They have analyzed this program extensively. Undoubtedly their work will also be criticized. So be it, but to me, it is very acceptable.

If you’ve heard that Canada should skip plans to export natural gas to Asia, including from a few anti-oil and gas academics – none of whom, we’re betting, has ever run an energy company you’ll notice one theme that pops up: there’s no money in it.
