and when Premier McGuinty institutes a flat-tax in Ontario he will have a case on this funding gap. (h/t Daimnation)
...The article buttresses the claims of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, who has ruffled feathers in Ottawa with his assertion that a $23-billion gap exists between what his province pays into federal coffers and what it gets back in transfers and services. Mr. West pegs the gap at $20.8-billion in 2004, or $1,674 for every Ontarian. In Alberta, the gap in favour of Ottawa was $9-billion, or $2,794 on a per capita basis.

Chester has been wandering in the wildernes,
lo these many days.
He has returned to find there is much joy reading the editorials,
and rejoicing over the favourable polling numbers.
The merriment of the conservatives was a site to behold.
The prophecy as foretold by Chester.
