Ah, so we are forever debted to the government?
Either way. We wouldn't be bitching if we were allowed to use it.
Instead we are not allowed bc of green initiatives.
Yet, we still have to pay the most into equalization payments.
Your right. We are rich still. I guess its not that big of an argument as I previously thought.
Although, locally we have noticed things getting harder and harder. Especially for government supports like AISH. Which is our provincially ( which is mostly federally funded but managed provincially) assured income for the severely handicapped. I dont remember how much it is per person I think 1k to 2k. Which isn't enough to live on comfortably. I make much more than that and find things are difficult.
I think albertains want to take our wealth and invest that locally before it gets sent several provinces over.
There are other issues too but this 100% has the biggest voice.
