Hakan has this bang on. If the money is either going to be in the hands of the provincial government or a huge multi-national corporation, I think that the answer is pretty obvious where is should be. Its not their territory plain and simple.
Second while Albertans have benefitted from the growth and overall economic climate we've also paid a price to get that. Who builds all of the infrastructure for these companies to operate a business in the first place? That money has come from the provincial coffers, and taking our fair share is not something that should be viewed as anything other than the right way.
