Choke this: Alberta 3,000,000 people which makes it about $50,000 per person of the total population. Charanta 5,300,000 people which makes it about $37,735 per person of total population. That assumes your numbers are right and yours might be, Charanta is 75.4% as productive as Albertans on a per capita basis. And we get penalized for good productivity, in balance of transfers. Less people on welfare here too. Less people on the lamb. It helps a lot. For what federal outgoing transfers above fair cost; Albertans, every person including children in the oven could get a $5300 cheque each and every year for what it costs Alberta to stay in confederation. So I guess a bunch of western hicks can say Charanta is not as productive.

Same will occur in western Canada .....in 20-30 years. I bet it will not take than long, Vancouver is a sleeping giant. Everyone seems to focus on the 10 gallon hat of Calgary, but there is a whole lot more out west than most easterners know.

No dispute there, per capita GDP in Alberta exceeds that of Toronto. I have no doubt that extracting the back goo has been quite lucrative for the province. The difference is resource extraction economies are not sustainable over the long term. Eventually Alberta's bubble will burst, while Toronto's economy won't even notice.

That's not Toronto - that's the GTO. Travel oot there sometime and ask some of those farmers if they live in Toronto. > That assumes your numbers are right and yours might be, Charanta is 75.4% as > productive as Albertans on a per capita basis.
