历史来看,前几十年(1950s)都是大略给得最多,好像伯塔也拿钱了,后来石油涨了伯塔才出钱。大略就好像家里长子,一直养家。但是什么金融制造等,大略也赚了其他省的钱。
1950s-2009,安省一直给钱
Until the 2009–2010 fiscal year, Ontario was the only province to have never received equalization payments. In 2009–2010, due to the global
Great Recession, Ontario began to receive equalization payments
[14] with its first payment amounting to $347-million.

The equalization formula is "based on a three-year average of economic growth". Since the 2008 recession, the Ontario economy got stronger which resulted in lower equalization payments.

In 2012–2013 Ontario's equalization payments increased to a peak of $3.3-billion. It was projected to be $2-billion in 2014–2015. Late January 2012, based on access to the uncensored version of a 2006 censored federal report by Peter Gusen, then director of federal-provincial relations at the finance department, entitled 'An Operational Expenditure Need Equalization Formula for Canada', the
Toronto Star alleged that Ontario and BC were shortchanged in the equalization system because wages and cost-of-living expenses were never taken into account by Ottawa.

In 2014, Ontario would have qualified for the TTP payment for the first time, worth $640-million. In 2013 Stephen Harper ended the TTP program. According to a December 12, 2013 Globe and Mail article, cancelling the program was a political decision by the federal Conservatives. It would raise their "bottom line, while forcing Ontario's minority Liberal government to find the difference ahead of a budget that [had] the potential of triggering a provincial election."[14] In 2013–2014, Ontario's per capita payments were the lowest at $230.20.[5]
支持保守党的搬到伯塔吧,2013年哈勃政府砍了安省的收入
As of 2019–2020 Ontario stopped receiving equalization payments.
