I too am in awe of what Norway achieved. But Truthy, did you forget about the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund? Despite, between 1980 and 2014 non-renewable resource revenues in Alberta generated almost $190 billion the value of the Heritage Fund in 2014 was only $17.3 billion because
successive governments borrowed off it to fund projects that failed.
I wonder if we had stuck with a national energy policy, all of Canada would be better off right now. What do you think?
