| | Project Alberta - Empowering Albertans |
 | | While $20-billion of the $108-billion generated by the petroleum industry in 2006 will end up in the hands of the Alberta government, the remaining $88-billion is much more broadly distributed than most media commentators, politicians and Canadians think. |
 | | An interesting future study would be to compare the national distribution of benefits, including tax revenues generated for the federal government, from the development of an oil-sands plant in Alberta versus a hydro-power project in Quebec or a nuclear-power plant in Ontario. |
 | | The Progressive Conservatives of Alberta have increased spending dramatically, increased taxes, fought access to information, refused fixed election dates, refused citizenâs initiated referenda, refused to hold free votes, refused to end the use of closure in debate and have rejected every aspect of the âAlberta Agendaâ which was an effort to increase provincial autonomy. |
