Do you have questions about equalization, why we have it, and how it works? In 2021, I recorded a great panel with some very smart Albertans, including @trevortombe.bsky.social @jaredwesley.ca @ericadams99.bsky.social and Ken Boessenkool, explaining it all. Perhaps just as relevant today! #ableg - ThreadSky

No particular reason at all.

I was going to make a joke about cutting a cheque to Quebec to pay for my share of equalization, but this was the closest I could get to it without running afoul of Poe’s Law.

TY @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social A timely posti following conversations I had with fellow Albertans this weekend. They are opposed to Equalization; however, they had no data. I committed to learn more about Canada's system & began my researching to better understand and discuss it.

Those with strong opinions have no desire to taint them with facts.

This is true, of course. But lots and lots of people are honestly confused or misinformed and are interested in facts. I did this for them!

We were also joined by journalist turned historian Mary Janigan, who rounded out the historic context. I can’t recommend this highly enough, if you want to understand the pros and cons of the program. #cdnpoli #abpoli #equalization

Also available as a video - if you are in Zoom withdrawal. We did this with a live online audience! So you can see all our blinks and bookshelves.
