I don't agree with the comments made by the energy minister, but...
B.C. Isn't our competitor
And
Among the government's primary duties is to concern itself for the welfare of its "employees", a corporation is concerned primarily with its bottom line.
Drastically different scenarios.
On another note... I get the sentiment that the government is responsible for managing an economy through the hardest of times. Of course they are.
It is just that people on this message board, and people throughout Alberta continue to conflate global economic conditions to the performance of this brand spanking new government. Mistakes will happen, quotes will surface that we can (and should) scoff at.
But for ####'s sakes. The whole "NDP ruined Alberta" sentiment is wayyyyyyyyy out of line. And to be fair, many of us should be packing up our #### and moving elsewhere. Just as there was mass in-migration for the last decade, there will be to (a lesser extent) out-migration. And it just makes sense.
