NDP were totally ineffective with their " Social License"  garbage. As for equalization being renegotiated it's about time. Why aren't hydro revenues included in the formula? Why has Alberta continued to be a net contributor during its worst recessuon in 40 years? Why have some provinces been on equalization since the inception of the program with no impetus to get off? Why do some provinces refuse to develop their resources but take $$$ from those that do? The program is a joke and designed to buy Quebec off. Full stop.
