On last night's show, I explained how anti-fracking policies in Atlantic Canada are making it lag behind more competitive jurisdictions and how the death of the Energy East pipeline will only cause further damage to their economy.

Unemployment is rampant in Atlantic Canada where fracking is outlawed, but they continue to receive billions in equalization payments from oil-producing provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The left has shown no sign of ending their war on the Canadian oil and gas industry, if they're successful it could mean transfer payments to Atlantic Canada will be cut in half.
