Somebody tell the seppies. Ottawa is not the bad guy here. ALL Albertans should be united and pissed at prov con governments for ripping us off for decades. They set the royalty rates and looted alberta. Blaming Ottawa is a distraction from the truth.

Imagine you're sitting on top of the largest oil deposits in the western hemisphere and you choose to piss it away for pennies on the dollar.
Value Captured Per Barrel (2013 benchmark):
Norway: ~$87.69 per barrel
Alaska: ~$38.54 per barrel
Alberta: ~$4.38 per barrel
That's not an Ottawa problem
What the province collects, what taxpayers cover, and how it compares
Alberta oil and gas production has gone through the roof, royalty revenues have cratered.
Alberta is giving away our most valuable asset for pennies on the dollar, and that's not Ottawa's fault.
If conservatives really believe in running government like a business, they should be fired.
