While that's definitely part of it, I don't think Norway funneled any resource revenues into general revenue. Instead, they have a 25% VAT. So while it's easy to dismiss as Alberta being a province with transfer payments, we've still made terrible financial decisions around a PST, and we pay for it every year.
