Absolutely. This is a great example of why we need a thriving public broadcaster. The lesson from the United States right now is very clear: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/06/trump-funding-cuts-npr-pbs-rural-america

It's not "a lot of Albertans". It's conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn't pay a dime into equalization.
