A lot of Albertans complain about the equalization payments and also been gloating about multi billion provincial surplus.
They can't seem to put things to together enough to realize even with all that oil money it still doesn't make their life better.
It's just this modern day Conservative thing of them being miserable cunts and everyone needs to be miserable with them.
It's not "a lot of Albertans". It's conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn't pay a dime into equalization.
...and the crap that makes these people happy; loud obnoxious cars and boats, McMansions, guns, are all really detrimental to everyone else.
The Alberta oil economy is thriving
There's no such thing as an Alberta oil economy. Most of the shareholders in the Alberta oil companies are foreign. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/august-2023/foreign-oil-companies/
Here is an additional report on the foreign ownership of Alberta's oil production. It's the prime example of how Canada is treated as a resource colony by the USA.
These articles are a great complement to each other.
Please change the title to the article's original. Rule 1 of this instance.
If this were a post about a single article, I'd agree, but I think this is an OC post that cites 2 articles, so Instance Rule 1 doesn't apply
The mods will know.
