Your whole viewpoint is that you only care about your employment, right now, today.

That's the definition of short sighted.
No, I worry about keeping corporations in Alberta, that have been paramount in creating what we enjoy today.

Thus, enjoying the same benefits as far into the future as possible.

The only way to bankroll diversity in Alberta will be using O&G revenues, which is currently our primary source of income.

Simply put... It is better to get a small percentage of a large pie, rather than a large percentage of a small pie.
