We are a province that support free market economics and resource based revenues. Quebec is something like what you're looking for. Their government takes care of it's residents with higher taxes and subsidies.
I'm not complaining, I'm explaining why I have a hard time being empathetic.

No Quebec is the worst. They spend well past what their tax base can support.

Alberta would be the perfect place for a healthy middle left economy. Small wealthy population, big corporate tax base, stable(ish) medium term income from main commodity.

I think we're just seeing the consolidation of what this province can actually support at historical levels of Oil revenue and everyone is freaking. the. ####. out.
