Then we would be forced to send our surpluses to Quebec and the Maritimes as equalization payments.

sounds like any government.

i know this first hand from federal structure.

it's kinda good, but i think human nature fucks it up.
the rule isn't good.

it promotes needless spending to keep money, and get funded at least equal or more the next year.

it also promotes the lowers to skew info and statistics to promote their own departments, so they can get more money.

We roit about hockey yet sit back as people are robbing us blind. I'd say we deserve it.

If they take less funding the next year than they will keep getting less and less funding. So in order to get the same amount as last year they have no choice but to ask for more......
