According to your own source:
The report shows that the disparity between resource revenue earned by the Alberta government during the Lougheed era and today can be explained in large part by
policy decisions made by the government of former premier Don Getty and perpetuated by the Klein government.
The Parkland Institute estimates that if the current Alberta government had collected revenue from oil and gas companies at the same rate as the Lougheed government, resource revenue would have been about $3.78 billion higher per year between 1992 and 1997.
If royalties and other fees had been assessed at the same rate as Alaska, the Alberta government would have brought in an extra $2.0 billion per year
If you're going to make stuff up in future I'd suggest pointing out articles you've actually read or that at least support your case. Better yet, if it's your opinion just say so, no need to play this game.
