[edit] Equalization
In fact, Alberta is the largest net contributor to the program, and the payments are made to poorer provinces to ensure that all provinces are able to provide similar levels of public services.
Above is a potentially controversial statement. It would be a good idea to have a source to substantiate it. More information specific to Alberta on the equalization program would also be nice, i.e. what is the magnitude of the Alberta's net contributions.
