Mansell should just shut up and be happy that he is lucky enough to live in a province that had dinosaurs in it millions of years ago. This constant moaning of highest educated and hardest working province has got to stop. Quebec and the others mean well, they are trying, they just are trying to find themselves, get a career.

Just wait until the oil dries up, and the coalbed methane, and the gas in shale, all resources that are extremly easy to extract. No financial and human capital was ever spent in developing technologies to get this stuff out of the ground economically. No deaths on snubbing rigs, lost limbs, it's all just gravy.

When it all dries up someday, that's when the rest of Canada will start to transfer a net income to Alberta, like in the eighties when Alberta was suffering becasue of low prices, oh crap I was wrong, Alberta still didn't get any extra money then. charf

Okay, I'm not too sure if your second paragraph is supposed to be sarcastic, but man do I hope it is.
