If you forget about us, tweet after tweet from Alberta read, perhaps we’ll “forget” about our payments to the equalization program. So if the PM 'forgets' to mention Alberta in his speech, can we 'forget' to send equalization payments? You can even find embryonic western separation movements cropping up in the comment sections of news stories about the equalization program. Now that Alberta has been downgraded to a non entity do we still have to send billions in equalization payments? The equalization program has been changed often, with some minor tweaks and some major overhauls.
