Ok, not only do you not know who owns the oil resource, or the way that the transfer payment issues are, you don't know where the petroleum resources are located in the province, nor does it appear you know where your own province is located. If Alberta's southern border was a couple hundred km's south - in other words, we would then own the majority of Montana's oil fields - we would be poor? Cause we were bigger and had more resources???
