Alberta’s legislature will debate a potential referendum question asking Albertans if they think the principle of equalization payments should be removed from Canada’s Constitution.
Premier Jason Kenney introduced a motion on June 7, 2021 that, if passed, will put the following question on a provincewide referendum ballot on Oct. 18, in conjunction with municipal and Senate elections:
“Should Section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982 –Parliament and the Government of Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equalization payments – be removed from the Constitution?”
“Albertans elected this government to get a fair deal for them. That’s exactly what this referendum is about. For too long, Albertans have been forced to subsidize public services in other parts of the country where politicians have been trying to block our pipelines and impair our vital economic interests, even during times of great economic hardship for us. This fall, Albertans will finally get a chance to tell the federal government that they’ve had enough of the unfair equalization program, and want reforms that recognize our province’s role in creating national prosperity.” said Premier Jason Kenney.
The principle of equalization is embedded into the Constitution and is the Government of Canada’s primary transfer program for addressing fiscal imbalances between provinces.
Albertans fund equalization through federal tax contributions, which are then transferred by the federal government to other provinces for their programs and services.
However, the current program does not take into account fundamental matters of fairness, including the ability of “have provinces” – like Alberta – to contribute transfers even when their provincial economies are down.
“Justin Trudeau’s equalization program is not fair for Albertans. Their generosity is being taken for granted by leaders who are happy to receive the money but reject the jobs that produce it. Albertans will finally have the opportunity to be heard.” said Kaycee Madu (pictured), Minister of Justice and Solicitor General.
Holding a referendum on equalization was a key recommendation of the Fair Deal Panel, which submitted a report to government last year recommending several ways Alberta could strengthen its position in Confederation.
“Alberta averages almost $20 billion annually in net contributions to Confederation. Almost 10,000 Canadians commute from across Canada to work in the oilsands alone. Alberta certainly doesn't appear to be getting treated fairly and I'm very happy that our government is listening to those that spoke at our Fair Deal consultations.” said Tany Yao, MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo and member, Fair Deal Panel.
“Equalization rewards irresponsible, anti-economic development policies while punishing responsible economic development governance. Over the past 10 years, hard-working Albertans have sent over $400 billion to some provinces that run budgetary surpluses with money that isn’t theirs. Albertans’ self-determinant spirit built this province, so it’s time we asked them whether things need to change.” said Miranda Rosin, MLA for Banff-Kananaskis and member, Fair Deal Panel.

The young women who attend Cullman Middle School recently got the opportunity to learn hardcore, advanced self defense skills from Officer Cindy Rohrscheib of the Cullman Police Department.
Officer Robrscheib is a certified instructor in the Equalizer Self-Defense Program. She has helped train police officers and deputies throughout the Cullman County area. She is now also assisting the general public in safety awareness and women’s self-defense training across all ages groups.
Physical Education Coach Leann Evans has teamed up with Officer Rohrscheib over the last 8 years to provide this Equalizer Self-Defense Training to willing female students at Cullman Middle School. Each year brings the tried and true methods of the Equalizer system along with evolving techniques and amazing nuances designed by Officer Rohrscheib. This year’s new innovation involved escape techniques employed if students are bound by duct tape and/or rope by would-be potential attackers of captors.
This year’s program ran for a full two week session. It was challenging, rigorous and fun!

Dual Passive equalizer based on Pultec EQP-1A featuring Russian paper-in-oil capacitors, UTC transformers and PEC Mil-spec potentiometers.
Great River MP2NV and EQ2NV Neve sound preamp EQ is a fantastic pair. Can't wait for Dan Kennedy's compressor to pair with these two.

It was goals-a-plenty in this West Lancashire League Premier Match with Lostock taking a 24th minute lead but going in at half time level after a late goal. Lostock regained the lead early in the second with Oxley getting his brace but 2 goals from Whitehaven took them in front. Matty Bulcock fired in an equalizer from distance to level once again. LSG finished the game with 9 players after late dismissals for Wilkinson and Riding.

BEQ1 - LiFePO4 Battery Equalizers
Beta testing the newly developed equalizers on 4ea LiFePO4 cells provided by www.LionEV.com sent to Hot Juice Electric by me from: www.TexomaEV.com
Date: Tue, April 25, 2008
The parts to modify the BEQ1's for LiFePO4 prototypes arrived yesterday evening and I completed a set for the test pack. I even managed a preliminary test that yielded very positive results! This weekend will be very busy with testing and hopefully, completion of a beta design solution to solve this issue, of balancing a LiFePO4 traction pack.
Date: Tue, April 28, 2008
Mike and all,
It was, indeed a very busy weekend! There was more work involved than
I expected, including having to add a few parts to slow the regulators
response. It turns out the change of current near the "full" part of a
charge cycle is so sharp it would set up an oscillation with adjacent
cell/regulator pairs. Most of the weekend was spent fine tuning the
response until it was perfectly stable. I managed to perform 5 discharge
/ charge cycles and all worked great.
Cell #3 in this test pack is definitely bad, which makes discharge
testing a bit cumbersome, but it is great for testing the regulators. For
example, it is interesting, how the regulator on the bad #3 cell turns
on immediately as soon as charging starts. Then, as the other cells
approach the "full" knee of their charge curve, the #3 cell regulator
shuts off since #3 is still not "full". Finally, all of the regulators
are "on" indicating all cells are charged. This means that even though
cell #3 is bad, its regulator protects it against further damage while
the other cells are charging at a much higher rate.
I still have at least one charge test before concluding the design is
ready. I expect to do that this (Monday) evening. The test is a high
(>20 Amp) charge rate.
More to come…
Date: Tue, April 29, 2008
Last evenings test was a high current charge to see how the regulators handled the current, specifically with the bad #3 cell. The test went great although the pack would not draw more than 8 amps at 14.8 volts. Another test was to parallel two regulators across the bad cell to see if they would share the current evenly when the charge current was pushed up to 10 amps (about 15.8 volts). With 15.8 volts at the power supply, all regulators were on and no cell was over 3.7 volts, including the bad one. (The remaining 1 volt was voltage drop across the leads).
I am very pleased with the results. I think we are ready to make plans for putting them into operational tests. I plan to design a footprint to house 4 regulators in one slim package with the same or similar dimensions as a "pop tart" cell. It would have the terminals on the top edge to match the orientation of the cell terminals. I would also like to add signaling terminals that could be connected to a relay, light, etc. to indicate full charge, and fault conditions. At this point, however, I think it might be best to proceed with the original BEQ1 format as operational test subjects. That would get regulation in place faster and would insure the design is operationally sound before proceeding to a finalized product.
NOTE: The 4cells I built up for HotJuiceElectric, were of some I had left over from another build. I looked back, and noticed that one of the cells was part of a pack, I had originally used for demonstration purposes, yet it wasn't abused that I know of, but I suspect it is the cell that is bad in this original test pack.....

I took this early this year, in February. It was one of the first images that I made with my new fish eye. I guess that I never had a chance to develop the HDR, which is made from three images exposed at 8, 2 and 32 seconds, obviously with a tripod mounted camera. Custom white balance was set with the Lally Cap shower cap.
I dug them out and processed them with the new PercepTool2 - HDR, PercepTool2 and the Equalizer. It ends up looking pretty good, I think, but don't try this on a slow computer. My 2.4 gHz dual core AMD (32-bit Windows 7, 4 gig RAM) chewed on this for a long while....
The HDR tool is pretty good. It creates natural looking HDRs only, and lacks some tools that I use pretty regularly with Photomatix and Merge to HDR Pro - like ghosting removal and reduction of chromatic aberrations. If I only shot landscapes in the desert with expensive lenses I guess this wouldn't be a problem ;-)
