Nobody is counting on the Heritage fund to "sustain Alberta". How dumb do you think we are?

Hey, I like Alberta. I lived there for five years and I'm a Flames fan.
I'm just trying to understand people's reasoning, and you're not helping, you're doing what everybody *from Alberta* does whenever I question them about their logic... get angry because they realize it's illogical.
Why aren't you scared about what happens when the oil is gone? People quote the Heritage fund, and then I question the Heritage fund (because I remember learning about it in school) and then you say I apparently think it will sustain Alberta (talk about putting words in my mouth!)
I hear about how bad it was during the NEP era, and what was that? That was an era without the huge revenues from oil... so what makes this different from when the oil will be gone? Why isn't anyone doing anything? Why aren't people ****ing scared? I don't get it, and maybe I never will, but goddamnit, someone help me understand!
