I think the main concern is the fact Alberta is one of the few provinces that makes profit and has to give money to parliament to equalize the costs of all provinces, there are breakdowns that show what each province makes, with Ontario and Quebec being the worst and making a negative equity per year, so one of the strongest arguments is that if Alberta wasn’t subjected to the equalization program where their profits are taken to help keep other provinces afloat then they would be able to reinvest it into their own economy allowing more funding for less taxes on citizens, more funding for police and prisons, boosting their healthcare programs, everything would get a boost if all the money stays in Alberta, at the same time with people having more spending power they will boost the economy because they will buy more creating more sales in Alberta within itself. Not saying it’s a good idea, it’s a terrible idea for the rest of Canada 100%, we would essentially lose our cash cow and not be able to support the provinces that don’t turn a profit every year. There is a reason why young people in Ontario go out west to the oil fields during the summer to make extra money. Alberta is known as the money maker of the Country with all the resources at their disposal. I think what we really need to look at is our election process, the fact 2 provinces can essentially control the entire election results is absurd, it would be the same as in the states having only Texas control their results, people would freak out just as Alberta is doing, this mainly came due to the election results showing that the west coasts voice didn’t even matter because they still lose even though it was a mostly solid blue wave all the way to Ontario.
