$400 for every man woman and child who lives in this great province.
All residents of Alaska that have lived there for at least a year profited from a similar program. Today there was $845.76 given to every man, woman, and child who have lived in Alaska at least a year. This comes from the Permanent Fund, a mass of money that came from the royalties paid to Alaska from the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. It is now worth about $30 billion and residents get a portion of the money earned by this every year.

I hope we don't have to give you guys royalty checks for the idea.

Alaska's program is what inspired ours.

I only wish my state had some stash of money they were distributing out every year. 🙁

Well, you could always move to Alaska.

That is true, but I am not sure the dividends would cover the loss of money caused by the employment change. Plus, those long winter nights would get old.

nah, I'm cheap anyways. FYI, not everybody in Alberta is a cowboy.

I do not own a cowboy hat
I do not own cowboy boots(or boots of any kind)
I have never worn chaps
I have never been on a horse.
I hate country music
