How much Vale pays the province.
How much Glencore pays the province.
How much the province gets from us paying for licenses.
So, what you are actually asking for would require a forensic audit of the provincial books. As citizens, we d not have that legal right. The only people who can ask for that kind of detail is your MPP.
So, how about you show ME how much Vale in the city of Greater Sudbury paid in taxes and royalties to the province. I bet you will have just as much problem. If you can find that, I will give YOU a case of beer.
The real problem is that the books are so well cooked, no one really knows how screwed over they are by anywhere.

Nice dodge. So what you are really saying is that you can't provide data, like I did, from a credible source, that says Northern Ontario is a net contributor.
The Fraser Institute was able to wade through all the data and construct a pretty specific breakdown by county/district to show net contribution. Why can't any of those proud northern separatists build a similar case if the data is so friendly?
