TRANSCRIPT:

Last week, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney released the results of his referendum on equalization.

The program ensures services are equal across the country.

And Jason Kenney says that 62% of Albertans want to end it.

62% seems high, but it turns out just 40% of eligible voters voted and less than 25% voted yes. 25%.

Wow. That's so low, it's almost as low as Premier Kenney's 22% approval rating.

Besides, it doesn't matter if 100% of Albertans want out because equalization is a federal program.

Jason Kenney really puts the refer and dumb in referendum because he must have been either high or stupid to think this would work.

Currently, P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Manitoba receive equalization payments.

Can you imagine a Canada without those provinces?

Prince Edward Island gives us the potatoes that the McCain plants in Manitoba turn into the french fries they use in Quebec to make poutine.

Imagine a Canada without poutine.

Every province plays a part.

New Brunswick is the only bilingual province without them Jason, who would you get to tell Quebec to frig off.

And Jason, I know you don't like Atlantic Canadians, but who the hell do you think lives in Alberta?

It's not like Alberta doesn't get help, they receive more than their fair share of COVID aid, and when Kenney's poor leadership resulted in a huge COVID spike, Newfoundland and Labrador sent a team of nurses to help ease the burden on the Alberta and health care system because helping each other is how Canada works.

Trust me, Jason, with you in charge, you're going to end equalization just when Alberta starts receiving payments.

But maybe Jason is right after all.

The equalization formula hasn't been adjusted since 2009, when Jason Kenney was a cabinet minister
in Stephen Harper's government.

So if Jason Kenney wants to get rid of the person responsible for Alberta's bad deal on equalization, he should do what 78% of Albertans would like to do already and get rid of Jason Kenney.
