    Oh look the fiscally responsible conservatives chased away good positive jobs and money. No fucking surprise there.

    It’s all right. When their archaic petro-economy collapses, we’ll send them equalization payments.

    “Big surprise” said everyone with half a brain.

    Seriously though, this is working exactly as intended by the UCP - they want to have Alberta’s faith pinned to the petro dollar to stay in power. Hard times, global downturn? Blame everyone for ruining Alberta’s precious oil industry -> vote UCP to stick it to the federal government. Good times, oil boom? The UCP freed us from the green yoke the federal government is trying to force on us -> vote UCP to keep your heard-earned success.
