We get lower prices for our resources due to shipping costs, get them to tidewater, the Feds get more Royalty revenue and distribute it among the Provinces.
So yeah, 'Alberta gets its way' but it is in the best interest of the Country as a whole, and if individual parties stand in the way of that then they are inherently hindering Canada's ability to operate as an entity with the design of the benefit for all.

Right, we all know that we're right here, so if everyone would just agree with that, everything is cool. I'm not sure how that argument will go over with the other provinces, but I could take an educated guess!
