Can someone explain this in American?
Yes Alberta has all the oil. Because they have all the oil they make more than any province in Canada so the government takes a good part of it.
There are only about 4.8 million people in Alberta which includes probably close to a million foreigners. There are 40 million people in Canada and the oil reserves do not belong to Alberta they belong to Canada. So the taxes from the oil fields goes to services in other provinces.
Alberta as a benefit for that tax money pays less money than any other province in their personal income taxes. They also have cheap car insurance while the rest of Canada pays through the teeth. They also have the cheapest rents and housing of almost all provinces West of Quebec.
I was being funny. I don't know all of the provincial abbreviations though.
Is PE no longer a province? Where are Yukon and NWT?
I count ten provinces and three territories on my map of Canada.
