That's one side of the argument, for sure. Some (perhaps even many?) would argue that Alberta is giving away our resources like the town tramp gives up the coochie.
What it comes down to......would you rather get $100 over 10 years, or $200 over 30 years?
We face two problems right now. First, we're so heavily tied to O&G that any change is going to have a negative effect. Second, we STILL don't have a vision for what this province will look like after O&G. Tech? Manufacturing? Farming?
