The reason those oil royalties are 'yours' is because of some privy council over in England decided to screw the Federal government 100 years ago for trying to have more sovereignty and rights for the people. That oil belongs to all Canadians IMO.

Thank god, can you imagine what kind of shape Alberta would be in if the government got thier greedy stupid hands on it all. We'd all be living in Shanty's with open flames while every government official in Ontario would be living in Saddam style palaces while deciding on how to buy more Eastern Canadian votes, or spending it on another useless pet project where they can line the pockets of thier friends.
On a corruption level the only difference between the federal government of Canada and a third world dictator for life is that our esteemed political collegues are more polished when it comes to trying to bury scandals.
