>For a given salary, the average income tax (combined provincial and federal) paid by someone in Quebec (or any other province) is much higher than that paid by someone in Alberta. Add to that the provincial sales tax (not paid by Albertans) ... and you get a situation where people outside of Alberta see Albertans as spoiled rich whiners as they: 1) earn a higher salary and 2) pay less taxes. People in Quebec also get way more services for that. Like under $10 a day daycare.
