Does limiting future AB investment to essentially 0 in the oil and gas sector account for all the savings we would gain from not giving transfer payments? I have no idea, but I believe in the Nation of Canada.

As an immigrant, I feel no ties to "Canada" whatsover. Canada is Quebec and Ontario, plus appendages in my view. I do feel a lot of passion/attachment to Calgary and Alberta.
As an outsider, Canada seems like a swindle on the outlying, particularly Western, provinces - we will take your money but will give you no power. Seems like a great deal - in the same sense as when decisions about India were made in London...
