How is Ontario treated differently under the law? Ontario signed the same constitution as the other eight provinces. Quebec gets 7 billion more in federal transfers in spite of having less than 60% of the population. $3149 per capita vs $1575. That goes a long way toward supporting its social programs. Manitoba and the Maritime provinces get more per capita, Ontario, Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan and NFLD all get about the same as each other.

Quebec still gets transfers from the feds, same as all the other provinces. Coverage also varies from province to province. I posted the link. The fact Quebec gets special treatment under the law is a source of friction in this country.

No we don't, health care is provincial. The provincial governments get transfers from the feds but the province decides how they are spent. If we are not discussing health care, why did you name the topic, private healthcare.

Democracy is such a drag to the MAGA cult. -
They are providing it. If I buy something for someone, I'm providing it. I still don't know why you would even make a point of bringing it up. Like the government is personally building our new fighters and frigates.

Well I don't know what your point is. Of course it is done by companies and those companies also sub contract work to other companies. Even if you "build" your own home you are either hiring a contractor to do the whole project and look after subbing out jobs to other independent contractors or will have to do that yourself unless you personally so proficient in all the trades that you can do them yourself.

World Cup is on in France. Some good matches so far, Wales vs Fiji yesterday was awesome and went right down to the end. England vs Argentina and South Africa vs Scotland were also very good.
