Yeah tell me about your memories of how crippling the tech bubble burst was for Calgary again. You know, when unemployment in Alberta was 4%.

You're just desperately trying to pin everything on the government. Trying to pretend that this bust is anything like that is what is embarrassing. Pretty sure I can find many, many quotes from the layoffs threads that say this is far worse than anything since the 80's but hey. Live in your fantasy world. This is all the NDP.

And Obama.

I never said it was the only force, but to pin this on anything but all of those office towers around his restaurant being half empty and no corporate money coming in as the leading cause is what is naive and screams desperation to try and blame everything on the government.
