If Alberta had any kind of leadership, there'd be a major push towards being of the frontier of new energy sources. We're already the energy capital of Canada, and reknowned globally for the same. Why not use some of that money to get some new economy going?
There are so many sources of energy that are in their infancy. We have the money to start to develop the technology. Why aren't we? This is the perfect breeding ground. Taxes are low, money is (theoretically) available grant-wise, tons of space, a very capitalist government (oh, did I already suggest grants? Maybe I should take that one back)...
Back to health care... Sometimes I wonder if the reason why it is never brought up to the upper echelons is to avoid an influx of "sick" people seeking care.
