Just a caveat, the Fraser Institute, who conducted the survey, is a traditionally right-of-center, pro-free market and conservative think tank that has been described by outlets like Forbes and the New York Times as libertarian. I wonder if they asked the respondents what is the bigger issue - oil prices or provincial government uncertainty.
That same Fraser study also said this:
"Of 14 jurisdictions with large petroleum reserves, the five that rank as most attractive/least deterrent to investment are Texas, United Arab Emirates, Alberta, Qatar, and Kuwait."
