And truth be told, if you want to know why Alberta is ####ed it is on Alberta and the piss poor leadership that province has had for decades. You would think the NEP would have been a wake up call. You would think all the warnings would have got people thinking about a post-petro economy and diversification. You would think with all the smart people in the province of Alberta someone would have thought about the future and seen where the world was headed. There was a mantra very popular in the 80's; "Please God, let the oil economy come back. We won't piss it away again." Alberta did not learn its lesson from the 80s. Alberta's precarious situation is on Alberta, no one else.

I'm curious. What sort of wake up call should the NEP have been? Why didn't Albertans learn that lesson?
