Dear John,

Between 2007 and 2022, Albertans continued to contribute disproportionately to Canadian federalism in terms of the amount of federal taxes paid versus federal spending in the province.

Overall, Albertans’ contributed $244.6 billion to the federal government in taxes and other payments in excess of the money Ottawa spent or transferred to Alberta – more than five times as much as was contributed by either British Columbians or Ontarians.

It’s clear that Albertans continue to disproportionately contribute to the economic success of the country and to federal finances.

Sincerely,
