Sanders' Democratic Socialism views impose a #false #equalization between the Democratic Party & the GOP. He runs on Democratic progressive policies, but advocating for ideological purity on #SingleIssue voting makes Democrats vulnerable. Vote with discipline to preserve #Constitutional democracy. 🙏

Divorce means splitting everything down the middle in Ontario. Your pensions, investments, even that cottage you bought together—all fair game in the #equalization process.

Divorcing? That HBP balance isn't automatically your ex's problem. It's YOUR personal debt that needs #equalization during separation. Know your rights and obligations for that tax-free RRSP withdrawal.

As a Canadian in #Alberta, this video about #NewZealand and #Australia hits home in terms of different parts/provinces of #Canada with equalization, in the context of being so dependent and integrated with the US, but also with progressive personal taxation.

I am in favour of #equalization […]

Kill the disinformation!

We are ALL subject to the same federal income tax system regardless of where we live.

Equalization is financed by the GofC from general revenues largely through our federal taxes.

Provincial govts. make NO contributions to the program.

I appreciate this analysis re: support for equalization, year after year after year.

We all pay the same federal tax rates, and #equalization helps every province keep government supports more consistent no matter where we live. It's a very Canadian thing, IMO

5/12 What do separatists want from Poilievre?
• End equalization ("bleeding Alberta dry")
• Senate reform (Alberta has 6 seats vs PEI's 4, despite having 25x the population)
• Friendlier approach to Trump

Rath: "If you can't fight equalization, get the hell out."

Think divorce means losing half your stuff? Ontario's #equalization process is more nuanced than you think. Your pre-marriage assets, #inheritances, and even some pension portions might be protected.

Alberta still gets billions in transfers, EI, infrastructure, and relief.

And even under Harper, the formula didn’t change — because it works.

A digital infographic titled “MYTH #1” features a LEGO-style character in a suit, standing in an office with a lamp and clock behind him. The image is divided into colorful content blocks. The top-right red speech bubble reads: “MYTH #1: ‘Ottawa is stealing Alberta’s wealth and giving it to Quebec!’” Below this, two adjacent blocks present rebuttals. The left panel is golden-yellow and titled “TALKING POINT” in bold brown text. It reads: “Equalization is funded by federal taxes — not Alberta’s budget. We don’t ‘send’ money to Quebec — we just don’t qualify for a top-up. If Alberta ever needed help, equalization would be there.” To its right, a pale blue block titled “REALITY” in white text says: “Equalization is federally funded — not from Alberta’s bank account. It’s not theft — it’s insurance Alberta isn’t currently in need of.” A red pushpin icon marks this statement. Below, a beige banner with a large brown question mark reads: “So who’s signing that cheque to Quebec?” At the bottom is a tan rectangle titled “BREAKDOWN” with a stack-of-books icon. It explains that equalization is not a transfer between provinces but a federally funded safety net based on tax contributions. Alberta pays more because its residents earn more but doesn’t send money to other provinces — it simply doesn’t qualify for extra support. Alberta still receives billions from Ottawa through federal transfers and emergency aid. The final sentence reads: “Equalization is not theft — it’s a social safety net we may one day need.” The sources at the bottom cite University of Alberta’s Feehan, the School of Public Policy, Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean (2025), and the Government of Canada.

No, Alberta doesn’t send cheques to Quebec.

Equalization seems to be the basis for a lot of #albertaseparation talk. What about the other federal transfer payments?

When one province gets $15B and others get $0, the math may check out but the optics don’t. Equalization needs a rethink not to punish success or subsidize politics, but to restore trust and ensure fair play across provinces.

The Premiers Need to Stop Misleading Canadians about How our Country Works Transfer and equalization payments are an essential part of any country with multiple jurisdictions that share a currency. If you want to break Canada, break transfer payments.

Dougald Lamont (@dougaldlamont.bsky.social) calls out premiers who misrepresent equalization to deflect from internal policy choices. His take raises a key question: how do we move toward a more informed, honest conversation about fiscal federalism in Canada?

5/8 The equalization conversation remains fraught with misconceptions. "When you put all the federal transfers together... the per capita money coming into Alberta is on par with the per capita money going into other provinces," Williams explains.
