The reason conservatives have balked at sufficiently funding the Heritage Fund is their paranoia over the federal government swooping in and claiming it. If a federal party even hinted that they would do exactly that, it would supercharge Alberta independence and justify all the fears of the swivel-eyed loons over Ottawa.
