And there definitely needs to be a change the way the country is run.

The Old system is breaking down & the equalization payments need a change.

Perhaps one way to address this disparity is to set up a sovereign wealth fund for each of the net contributors. Ie BC Alberta Saskatchewan & perhaps the Northern territories.

So for every dollar something is contributed to each provincial sovereign wealth fund of the net contributors?

Any event I agree that current system of equalization payments cant continue the way it is. Seems the Eastern Establishment treats provinces like Alberta as a territory than an equal partner in confederation

And if Quebec wants to reap the benefits of Alberta oil they ought to allow a pipeline through their province to ship gas and oil to Europe.

I think its important that Ottawa listen to the concerns of Alberta so that it doesn't result in a constitutional crisis.

Jo Jo Sweetie, you are the problem not the solution. Your Liberal party is responsible for Canada's unity crisis.

Stop voting for the party that is putting your country in real danger of breaking up. That is how you fix this.

Canada is fucked the fare-thee-well unless they start electing conservatives.
