How Un-Canadian can these Western pricks get - no National untity, just self-centered greed

Saskatchewan Premier floats equalization cuts


Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall wants cuts to the federal equalization program, suggesting some of the have-not provinces are getting too much money that could be better spent elsewhere.
 
“It is a lot of money to go out in a way that seems to be dated and not always efficient, and infrastructure and tax relief might be an option instead,” Wall said Wednesday.
 
Wall said he simply wants a dialogue on changing the federally funded, constitutionally guaranteed program, which sees more than $17 billion a year given to poorer provinces.
 
He touted a specific option in media interviews — taking away half the program’s funding and using it for a combination of infrastructure work and tax cuts.
