Oil lubricates the modern economy and if you control the flow of oil you control much of the modern economy. I think that's how it goes. If you find something unrelated to oil you should report it to a qualified science person. The low oil price may cause green shoots to pop up in the economy making everyone happy and we will drive the price steadily uoward as the economy improves and and decent wages are established same as they were in 1955 or there about.

What blunder? You mean growing from a frozen backwater ranching area to the economic powerhouse of Canada?
I can see where someone from Ontario would hate that.

Actually, no. It's the Albertans that are riddled with hatred. Ontarians don't even notice you and if they do, there is no hatred. There is a neutral indifference, maybe. All of the hatred in this country runs West-to-East and Westerners just assume that it runs the other way, which it most definitely does not.

Albertans are too busy working and developing a vibrant economy to think twice about hating anyone.... That said, when folks from outside AB keep incessantly whining, it generally results in a response.

Ontario could always separate if things are that bad.

The loudest curmudgeons are from Alberta.

No it is just that the freeloaders from the east are always trying to tell the rest of us what we can and cannot do in our own provinces and then expect us to pay for their follies. Ever hear of the NEP? One of the better examples of outright theft by Ontario and Quebec.

So, you've never been anywhere else in Canada, then?

You have no idea what you are saying. Typical Alberan bile is what you are saying.

It would be the only province that could do so as a fully functioning country.

You sound like the average idjit from Ontario. SUck off the rest of the country and think your sh!t don't stink. Ontario has about as much chance of going it alone as Quebec. Maybe less.

I'm not from Ontario.

You sound like just another swaggering and arrogant Albertan. Your type is well known and "loved" from coast to coast.

Seig heil, Alberta.

Except that I live on Vancouver Island. Never met a swaggering and/or arrogant Albertain but met lots from Ontario and QUebec.
