    So the federal government does nothing? They don’t enact any policies? They don’t give money to provinces for specific programs? Why do we even have a federal government? What do they even do?

    /s

    Where do you think provincial governments get money from? It’s not just provincial taxes, but also federal taxes with wealth redistribution. Why do you think Alberta wants to separate so bad?

    The federal governments enacts policies that have to be followed by the provinces. They provide funding for specific programs. Whether it’s healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. If they decide to cut funding for these things to instead use it as subsidies to help Canadian businesses “stay afloat” (read : earn a little less profits) they can. And the provinces will just have less money to fund everything else.

          Obfuscation fallacy. You’re smart enough to make convoluted and meandering arguments but too stupid to truly understand what you’re talking about.

                    It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion. But going around insulting people online because you disagree is pathetic, creates a toxic environment for everybody, and isn’t going to convincing anyone they’re wrong about anything.

                    I don’t give a shit about any moral high ground. I can admit to being wrong when presented with the correct arguments. But in your case, all you accomplished to do was make me feel angry me with your insults.
