The correct answer was $30M. But 1.5 billion close enough.
(GDP does not equal tax revenue).
Or maybe the $1.5 you are talking about is the brain dead investment Kenny made in a pipeline that has been doomed to be an incomplete political football for a decade now and a decade more to come. Just wait until you find out about the extra $1000 every Albertan has to put into this when they decide to default on the loan we've guaranteed.
Piss on the lost economic activity, the real cost here is throwing Albertans money away for politically motivated grandstanding.
