Alberta: Albertans own the oil. Corporations pay us for it.

Premier Smith: Albertans are being subsidized by oil corporations!

From the Alberta government website: "Albertans own 81% of the province’s mineral rights and the Alberta government manages those resources on their behalf. The province grants companies the right to develop the resources through its tenure process and, in return, the company must pay the province – that’s called a royalty."

"The Alberta government manages our resources on our behalf."

So what do we do when a manager is not doing their job? We fire them!
