OTTAWA — Canada’s three westernmost provinces won’t see a cent of the record $26.2 billion in federal equalization payments earmarked for 2025-26, a snub that isn’t sitting well with the region’s premiers.
“The federal government has announced equalization payments for 2025 and once again, SK, AB and BC will be helping support the rest of Canada,” tweeted Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on Thursday, in a message that was quickly amplified by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
