Oil rent in Alberta
Benoit Benoit:
If Albertans are not able to exploit natural resources with a civilized mindset, we should insist that they leave the resources in the ground for others to come.
But how would we send you your transfer payments then?

Like the majority of Albertans,it's out of my hands.
Civilized people don’t invoke powerlessness, they participate in electoral process, and at least they go voting when there is an election.
I guess I'm civilized then.
Then your hands can write to your provincial MP about this cap.

Civilized people don't try to fool the world: get rid of the $120-per-barrel cap for royalty!

The cap will soon put a ceiling to transfers; The price of the barrel is now at $110.

But you cannot see where the true motivation of Ed Stelmach lies, for having accepted such a cap.

At more than $120/barrel, the province of Alberta forgoes its royalties to the private sector. This cap will soon be significant since the oil prices rose today to a new record above $118/barrel. Shame on you Alberta!

More money for corruption.

The population of Alberta has to reason to rejoice itself to see the barrel of oil surpassing $120 because the new royalty regime has a cap at this price.
Benoit @ Fri May 16, 2008 7:49 pm
Goldman Sachs today raised its average oil price forecast for the second half of 2008 to $141 a barrel. Albertans should insist for a renegotiation of the provincial royalty regime without the cap (at $120).

Recall that Syncrude has still to agree on a new contract with the Province:
