Strange Happenings in Quebec Politics
Licia Corbella explains:
What's even more puzzling than [Pierre Karl Peladeau] running with the PQ is how this 52-year-old union-busting, staff-slashing controlling shareholder of Quebecor Communications hasn't bothered to study the fiscal books of Quebec. If he had, this fierce businessman would not seek the independence of Quebec from Canada. Why? Because Quebec would be utterly bankrupt were it not for equalization sent there annually from the rest of Canada.
Last year, Quebec received about $8 billion net in equalization from the federal government and hasn't been a net contributor to the federal coffers for decades.
