Originally posted by malek If other Provinces would join the fight for their constitutional rights like Quebec does, Ottawa would back off and there will be: 1-less of overlapping by the Federal, less overhead. 2-less money sent to the Federal, Provinces would keep their monies and would spend it as they see fit. 3-less chaos in our (dying) federation. 4-and the bonus, less separatists, not only in Quebec.

Yup, the fiscal imbalance is the biggest issue in Canada (after corruption/ethics), and has been for a while.

The federal government gets too much in taxes, and gets too involved in provincial matters, while ignoring federal matters (defence, etc.). The provinces meanwhile are starved for cash.

Sadly, most Ontarians are completely ignorant of the subject.
