I'd say head offices are located in Alberta because that is where the Oil is. They aren't going to be relocated to Ontario if that province reduces their tax rates to a few percentage points below Alberta's.

I don't have numbers handy, but there have been lots.
Calgary is #2 in Canada for head offices, ahead of Vancouver and Montreal.
Yes, O&G is one reason. But the positive business environment, due largely to the tax advantage, is a very big reason for it as well.
