Excuse me? Alberta hasn't received any handouts from taxpayers. In fact, we're still paying into equalisation, unlike freeloading Ontario or Quebec. 

I'd like to tell Honda to suck it up and build their own plant in Ontario that is receiving tens of millions of Federal tax dollars. I'd like to tell Bombardier to suck it up too. But we can't. Alberta will continue to pay for that while sanctimonious losers from Ontario and elsewhere think they have real economies, but rely on western Canadian to provide for them.

Keep in mind, Alberta still has, by far, the highest GDP/capita of any Canadian province. We're the only place in Canada with a real top level economy. That's even with low oil prices.
