Your lack of understanding of taxation and equalization in this country is appalling.  Alberta doesn't "share" anything with any other Province.  Albertans pay the same federal taxes (personal and corporate) as every other Canadian, no more or less.  Albertans have chosen to have a very low flat rate of Provincial income tax and no Provincial sales tax, preferring instead to pay for their services with O&G royalties.  Norwegians decided to do otherwise.
