It's easy to blame government when the economy goes poorly, but they don't set oil prices.

The biggest factor at this exact moment in time is pipelines, not world oil prices.
World oil prices are irrelevant to the current Albertan situation, because we are completely disconnected from it (to the negative side). Getting actual world oil prices for our oil would be a huge positive factor for the industry. At that point, then we can talk about world oil prices.
