Could have $200 billion in the bank if Albertans weren't so stubborn.

For sure it is the average Albertan's fault that we haven't used the money wisely.
I am all for PST in exchange for the PCs to tax oil more and put all oil revenues away. Problem is, they'd just give that money back to the Oil industry in tax breaks etc and wait for kickbacks from these oil companies in their after politics careers. Sad reality, politicians are crooks.
