		graeme on April 7, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An Iraqi who saved Norway from oil (2009) You’re very wrong. The current bslance is about $15 billion Canadian. $190 billion was the non-renewable resource money generated. They only out 30% in, unlike Norway’s 100%, and they stopped adding money in 1987. Alberts has an estimated population of 4.3 million, so they have about $3500 per person only. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Heritage_Savings_Tru... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta (For population stats)

Ahh.. looked at the wrong numbers.

Regardless, if Alberta had done the same as Norway (100% of royalties), they still wouldn't have as much money in the fund.
