Original Note:
The OP is misrepresenting equalization. Equalization is drawn from general federal revenue directly and not the budgets of the provinces. The graph and data are from the Fraser Institute, a Koch Bros. funded right wing libertarian think tank https://financesofthenation.ca/2021/02/23/new-equalization-tool/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fraser-institute/ https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Fraser_Institute https://dougaldlamont.substack.com/p/the-fraser-institute-is-deliberately https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/federal-transfers.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-votes-2019-equalization-payments-provinces-kenney-1.5281736
