My question remains what does this mean for Alberta? This matters a great deal because Provincial government policies will have a huge impact upon how Alberta will weather this upcoming disruption (whenever it happens). Lougheed had the right approach (investing in the Heritage fund and innovation). I hope Albertans take a look at the Wildrose, PC and NDP's long term economic development assumptions when they cast their vote in 2019.
In my mind, cutting taxes, shrinking government and focusing upon oil and gas is not good enough.
