Yes, we are lucky to sit on large reserves of natural resources.
We are also lucky to have a government that knows how balance a budget, that has allowed us to get out of debt, and become the most prosperous province in canada.

I would be happy to share Alberta's wealth with the rest of country IF:
1) The majority of it went to needy provinces
2) Was used to strengthen our military and navy
3) It skipped going into the Fed's "general revenue" account.
4) Was not used for frivoulous Liberal spending (Sponshorships or Gun Registry)

Alberta suffered through lean years to get where we are today. The price increases in oil and gas has helped out alot. But if you remember, the budget was going to balanced and the debt wiped out with oil being $25-30 / barrel.

I just don't trust the Feds to spend the money wisely.

Thats just my opinion anyway.
