And yes, I am in favor of some changes to make the system fairer across the country.<br /><br /> But the purpose of my posts is to show the hypocrisy of the Liberal's who put the rules in place, and now claim it is not a fair system.<br /><br /> An issue of national unity? I don't think so. Trying to use the revenue of western provinces, first with the NEP and most recently Greenshift is what causes national unity problems. Alberta's oil industry provides roughly $40 billion a year in government revenues.<br /><br /> Newfoundland is now reaping economic benefits from the oil industry. Think the Liberal Party will ever try raiding Danny Boy's pockets to pay for Quebec votes?<br /><br />Not likely.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-33881594673055653862009-05-31T13:39:27.031-07:002009-05-31T13:39:27.031-07:00You don't get it.
