The first years I lived as a child in Alberta it was on the RECEIVING end of the Federal Equalization payments (from BC and Ontario).

Most of the people on this panel.... and those who oppose this equalization weren't born then and are operating on simple self interest just because they live in a province which happens to have petroleum under it.

(Equalization was started in 1955 and Alberta received it until 1960.)

Further, we should remove the dual citizenship option from those who select citizenship status in any province which separates.

(as well as not allowing property sales to non-citizens who are not permanent residents)
