Way to COMPLETELY take my sentence out of context. See, right after I said that I also said that equalization and such makes it more challenging for Alberta to develop a quality wealth fund than the likes of Norway. And having federal politicians like these NDPers and PET screwing with us doesn't help either.
You even took out the attribution, I can only assume to make it more difficult to find the context.
Nevertheless, I agree that Alberta has done a piss-poor job managing oil revenues. But that doesn't mean that the oil revenues haven't been good for us, just not as good as they could be.
