The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the federal and provincial governments to begin discussing the equalization program after early results show Albertans clearly voting in favour of removing the policy from the Constitution.
“Alberta voters delivered a clear message: they’re willing to contribute to Canada, but they won’t be taken advantage of anymore,” said Kevin Lacey, Alberta Director with the CTF. “Alberta politicians of all political stripes have complained to Ottawa demanding action, yet the unfairness continues. Now, Albertans have taken this issue from the premier’s table to kitchen tables across Canada.”
