And if you don't think deliberate Government leadership in economic diversification is important...read up on SAGD. Without the Government risking the investment in the Underground Test Facility (And AOSTRA) the oilsands would be a shadow of what it is today.

That same leadership is needed to broaden the economy so that were aren't hammered like this when the volatile oil prices happen (again...and again).

So put me down for a PST and building up the heritage fund...so sorry if Truck Nuts cost a little more.
Well, you use those resource royalties to make long-term investments in stuff like SAGD and carbon capture. Otherwise the money should be saved.
