Mentions Quebec balancing its budget ... but why would Quebec do that unless it is rolling in funding ...
Prentice has plenty of room to cut. He leads the most extravagant, lavish, feckless government in Canada's history, by far.
And with Pierre Trudeau in the mix, that's quite an accomplishment.
Alberta spends $1,300 more, per person, than the national average. Budget tables show it spending 22 per cent more than B.C., per capita.
Indeed, forget per capita. Despite their smaller population, they outspend B.C., period.
Another inflection point? You know you're in trouble when Quebec leaves you in the dust.
La belle province just brought down a balanced budget, courtesy of, of all things, a Liberal administration. And in Quebec, "Liberal" actually means liberal, not conservative like B.C.'s governing party.
