Equalization is a good constitutional bargain. Albertans should not vote to scrap it

WNews Banner

This column is an opinion from Ken Boessenkool, a professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University and a research fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute, and Jared Wesley, an associate professor of political science at the University of Alberta. For more information about CBC’s Opinion section, please see the FAQ.

This month, Albertans are being asked whether “Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equalization payments” should be removed from the constitution.

Whether you favour (as one of us does) or are skeptical (as one of us is) of Alberta’s push for more autonomy, you should vote No.
