And yet, in Alberta we have such a resource, we had a Premier 40 years ago who talked about specifically this and even created a fund specifically to save and later invest in public interest projects, and yet every conservative premier since then has neglected both investing in the fund, and in immediate public works programs in favour of corporate tax cuts and populist hand-outs.
One can only imagine why people have grown cynical about Conservatives talking about how we can use O&G revenue for public good.
