Quebec is a "debtor Province" ...
in the sense that it is heavily subsidized
by the federal gov; this is why Quebec
has cooled w/r/t SECESSION.
PS: Alberta and BC and Ontario are NOT
debtor Provinces in the sense that
they contribute more money to the fed
treasury than they receive from the fed
treasury. Alberta and Sas talk about
secession because they are tired of
subsidizing Quebec.
PPS: Yes, Canada is experiencing some
austerity because of depressed OIL
prices. Trudeau has decided that deficits
are better than austerity.
