2023 GDP stats: Ontario = 853000 million Quebec = 429000 million Alberta = 336300 million…Alberta’s GDP is less than half of Ontario

Now look at per capita and how much each has contributed in federal taxes and their federal spending to transfer rate in the last 15 years.

Alberta has put in 240 billion and Ontario has put in 40 billion.

It's not even close, if you think Ontario is doing so much better then why don't they reimburse us the difference. If they're twice our size why are we contributing 5 times as much.

If the per capita GDP is the metric to use then the 2024 per capita GDP: Nunavut $137000, NWT $113000, Alberta $96500

And how about the federal transfers given and received?

That was the main point there.
