Combined with the screwed up Canadian labour market, means we end up with an overheated economy.
How about we start a Reserve Bank of Alberta that prints Alberta currency and puts Financial Institutions in Alberta under a seperate funds transfer pricing scheme? That way Alberta will have control of its own interest rate

But seriously, the current prime rate for the nation is 6.00% where in Alberta it should probably be somewhere closer to 10.00%.

Be fore warned, if the Alberta economy continues to overheat like this, Alberta could be in for a very massive recession within the next 10 years or so. [Forgive me, you guys got me into Economics mode]
