The $2.5 billion return of funds from Ottawa to Alberta is simply that, a return of funds from Ottawa back to Alberta from whence it came. This transfer of capital is a mere pittance of what is needed to inject real stamina into the industry that drives the national economy. Once reality sets in and Albertans realize how insignificant this amount of money is, then and only then will we realize how little interest this Liberal government has in the social fabric of Alberta or welfare of Albertans.
