I'd agree with this. It's not really Alberta's fault that B.C. has lower wages and a higher cost of living. On the other hand, it's definitely hard for the average person in B.C. to look at the average person in Alberta and really sympathize with the "Canada is screwing Alberta over" narrative that comes out of the province.
That said, the unemployment numbers for Alberta were still higher than the national average prior to COVID, so there is that.
It'd be nice if we, as a country, quit with the petty inter-provincial squabbling and were more empathetic towards each others' regional problems but good luck with that.
