ha ha ha, wallahi, i'm not like that in real life; ie outside of somaliaonline. don't get me wrong, its just that if 50% is too much to give to the central government. beside, when federal govt. get share of state's resources, those resources come back in the form of services such as school, hospital etc. so, why not cut the middle man out and give the federal govt. smaller share.

Well this is how developed nations that use the federal system split their natural resources revenues.

 

My second home Canada..

Investment

 

Every dollar invested in the oil sands creates about $8 worth of economic activity with one-third of that economic value generated outside Alberta – in Canada, the U.S. and around the world.

Royalties from the oil sands ($1.9 billion in 2009-10) – Albertans’ share of the revenues from oil sands production – help fund many public programs and services, including infrastructure, health and education. According to CERI, Alberta can expect $184 billion in royalties over the next 25 years.

 

Alberta's oil sands generate revenue not only for the Alberta government, but also for the federal government through corporate and personal income taxes.

 

Other provincial governments, as well as municipal governments, receive tax revenue as a result of investment and employment in the oil sands. CERI estimates oil sands will create more than $307 billion in tax revenue across Canada over the next 25 years. Nearly 61%, or $187 billion, will go to the federal government.

 

Alberta companies have signed millions of dollars in contracts with companies throughout Canada to support activity in the oil sands.

 

Key industries servicing Alberta’s oil sands include machinery and metal fabrication, particularly in Ontario.

Atlantic Canada also benefits from Alberta’s oil sands, by increased activity in certain industries, such as manufacturing.

New Brunswick steel manufacturers have signed contracts worth an estimated $50 million.

Thousands of skilled workers from other provinces contribute a substantial portion of their earnings to the economies of their home communities.
