Alberta is in a tough spot and it's not encouraging to me anyway that all the job growth was in the oil and gas sector. Diversification is so badly needed in Alberta in order to avoid such a drastic mess every time that world oil prices tank. Con servative politicans in Alberta can't expect the rest of us happily to bail out Alberta when Alberta refuses to revamp its economy and has spent years sneering at the rest of us for being lazy bums.
