And besides that, Quebec reaps billions of dollars a year in “equalization payments” from Alberta, my home province!
Albertans pay income taxes to the federal government like everyone else, and the equalization payments are made from those taxes to the provinces (using the formula that Stephen Harper's government came up with, by the way). There is no "payment" that goes from Alberta to Quebec - that is a myth created by politicians to get the uneducated all riled up.

Not to derail the thread, but Albertans also forget that before they discovered the oil sands, equalization payments were were going from Quebec to Alberta!

Any time Alberta pays so much to Ottawa that Ottawa has billions of dollars available to do an “equalization payment” to Quebec, Alberta is paying too dam much!

The youngsters amongst you may not know, but milk used to be delivered everyday in the cites and towns, door to door by the milkman AKA the milko. You would leave the empty bottles out with a note for your next order poked into one of the bottles, for the milko.
Anyway enough of the history lesson and on with the story....

The milko was out doing his morning rounds and found a note requesting 400 bottles of milk, he thought he better check as this was an extraordinary order, so he knocked on the door and was greeted by a lovely young lady in her skimpy see through nightie that left nothing to the imagination.
He asked her about the large order and she replied:
"Yes that's correct, I want to fill my bath as part of my new beauty routine"

The milko then asked:
"How do you want your milk....pasturised?"

She replied:
"No, just up to the top of my tits will do!"
