Jason Kenney bends truth on oil, equalization as he meets with Quebec counterpart | CBC News
“If you want to accept equalization payments that come from Alberta energy, then please help us to develop that energy and get a fair price for it,” Kenney said.
Kenney’s portrayal of Alberta money heading directly to Quebec coffers also misrepresents how the equalization program actually works. It is a sum of money the federal government redistributes from taxes it collects across the country, not just from Alberta.
