John Bolton - Are you one of the 62 percent？ You Have To Vote For Option 2!

00:00:00.000 Albertans will be going to the polls to vote on reforming equalization on saying yes to a fair

00:00:09.460 deal. And how did that work out? A clear majority, 62 percent of Albertans have rejected the

00:00:16.280 fundamentally unfair equalization program. And when Alberta went to Ottawa to plead our case,

00:00:22.200 What happened? Nothing. And nothing will ever happen.

00:00:27.120 Alberta, year after year, has $20 to $25 billion that is siphoned out of our system to go to Ottawa

00:00:34.740 so that it can be spent mostly in Quebec, but also in other places that vote Liberal.

00:00:39.820 You don't think we might be able to do a little bit more on social spending if those $20 to $25 billion stayed here?

00:00:45.220 It is $5,000 per Albertan that every single year gets transferred out of this province for political reasons.

00:00:55.760 The amount of money Alberta gives to Ottawa with equalization and by other means is staggering.

00:01:01.920 Since 1980, Alberta has contributed $653 billion more to federal taxes than we received back.

00:01:09.920 That means well over half a trillion dollars went directly from Alberta to fund other provinces,

00:01:16.480 mostly with economies larger than ours, through programs, transfers and equalization.

00:01:21.700 Are you one of the 62%? Do you want change?

00:01:25.660 Then send Ottawa a message.

00:01:28.100 On October 19th, vote Option 2 on Question 10.
