It makes the whole situation tougher since they are one of the biggest receiver provinces in the country.

Interestingly, that's similar to the situation in Scotland, which is heavily subsidized by transfers from English ratepayers (that's English for "taxpayer"). "We're ready to go it alone without you Sassenachs. By the way, where's our check?"

(Who would have thought that philadelphiaspeaks would have its first post with the word Sassenachs within a month of going live?)
