Of course it is political. Everything turdOWE does to fuck over the west is political too.
It does Canada was designed that way .
It goes back to when Saskatchewan exploded onto the scene becoming a massive economic powerhouse. It scared the shit out of the Eastern elite.
Or before the 1970’s? The last time Alberta received an equalization payment was the 1965-1966 year. Equalization came into play in 1957 & Alberta received it 8 times, but not in the last 55 consecutive years.
Really ? His charter sure helped but Quebec was always in the Canadian drivers seat . Prior to the separation campaign Montreal was the financial capital .
Prior to Pierre Trudeau, of all the PM's from MacDonald to Pierre, only THREE hailed from Quebec. The rest came from all across Canada from the Maritimes, Ontario, the Prairies, the West and even the friggin' Yukon. Since Pierre and his bullshit Official Bilingualism dreck, only TWO elected, sitting PM's have come from outside of Quebec and only one of them from outside of Ontario. The entire election process is rigged to ensure Quebec is the de facto province of power in Canada.
Yes , but prior to Trudeau Quebec still had the Senate and commons power .
