Oh, let me correct that for you:

"And the province that foolishly relied on a one-trick, low-value-added resource and failed to diversify their economy beyond simply pumping oil out of the ground and shipping it elsewhere for refining is now paying the price for their lazy,  non-entrepreneurship as the price of the raw product has halved.
