Most of Alberta's land is public land controlled by the province.
Claimed by: Cited in arguments about resource and land control
True: True as written according to the settled evidence. How we rate.
Summary
About 60 percent of Alberta is provincial public land, often called Crown land, which the province manages for forestry, grazing, recreation, conservation and energy development. The province has jurisdiction over that public land, with the notable exceptions of national parks, other federal lands and First Nations reserves, which are managed federally. So the claim is accurate as stated, though it is worth remembering that the federal carve-outs and the treaty rights attached to much of the province would all be live issues in any move toward independence.
