That oil belongs to all Canadians IMO.
Good one.

Then all Quebec Hydro is for all Canadians as well. And BC forestry...and maritimes fisheries.

Sorry...your opinion, simply put, is so far from reality its laughable.

Beyond that however...its not just "royalties" from oil that has Alberta is such a great fiscal position. It was the sacrifice of ALBERTANS when Klein implemented his policy that he was elected on in 1990. People in Alberta PAID for so much of what they have now sown then. It was with foresight and determination that Kleins government allowed for todays riches. How does that make it "all Canadians" exactly?

Have the royalties helped expodentially? Without question...the province has been very fortunate of late. So what? It's still Albertas money....like it or not.
