Alberta Voted Against Equalisation

Now what?:

Over 60 percent of Albertans have voted to remove the principle of equalization from the Constitution.

“A clear majority of Albertans have sent a powerful message to the rest of Canada on equalization,” Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said on social media.

“This strong democratic expression gives Alberta’s government a renewed mandate to pursue a fair deal for all Albertans.”

The results of the Oct. 18 poll, held in conjunction with municipal and school board elections across the province, were released on Oct. 26. ...

Kenney has said that the referendum vote per se does not give Alberta the power to unilaterally remove the principle from the Constitution, but it does give the province more leverage to get others on board to remove it.

 

And who would do that, Mr. Kenney? 

More:

However, the program — which has been around since 1957 and distributes tax revenue from federal coffers and sends it to provinces that are less able to raise provincial funds to administer provincial programs — is not likely to go anywhere.

It would require constitutional negotiations and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has signalled he has little interest in tackling equalization.

 

Which would make this referendum useless.

Canadians have so little understanding of how centralised their government is and how little power they truly have.

 

Kenney can either shut off the taps or continue being Quebec's wallet.
