Oil companies are basically taking the blame and the pain for the PC's pissing away billions upon billions of found money.

The oil and gas sector were the biggest thing lobbying for the PC government that kept pissing everything away, them and the province's newspapers.
The Oil and Gas sector is where the 'grass roots' funding for Wild Rose came from that neutered Alberta's ability to conduct a royalty review when times were good which would have put the province on better footing and arguably the Oil and Gas industry as well.
A more callous individual than myself might find some schadenfreude in it, but like all things, there is cause and effect.
