We pay royalties to the Alberta Government. Oil producers in Saskatchewan pay royalties to the Saskatchewan government. Gas producers in BC pay royalties to the BC government. The Canadian Federal Government is in no way involved, until you start shipping those products across provincial borders, and in that situation it's a permitting issue, not a royalty issue.
I think people need to remember just because someone posts something online, doesn't make it true.
