The previous NDP government in Alberta had started initiatives to diversify the economy slowly and steadily. That plan was rejected by Albertans when they voted the Conservatives back in. It wasn't all Notley's fault - Trudeau played her like a fiddle and she fell for it. The whole country fell for it.
Let's say the climate change hair-on-fire enthusiasts get their way and the oilpatch is shut down tomorrow. No one wants to talk about how that would play out - not just for Alberta but for Canada. I dont' understand how the rest of Canada can reject Alberta's oil - while still insisting on their transfer payments and accepting Saudi and Venezuelan oil. It's the height of hypocrisy to me.
