You think the oil stops at the border? Maybe that's how they decided to partition Alberta and Saskatchewan. Speaking of oil in places not named Alberta, hows that offshore oil industry doing out east?

So Alberta didn't win the lottery by having a virtual goldmine in their backyard?
And Albertans should be applauded for working hard and harvesting that gold mine? All's fair I guess. But I mean, those potato farmers out in PEI work just as hard as oil patch workers only they can't sell their potatoes for $50 a kilo.
