It's like bragging that you didn't shoot yourself in the foot.
It's not like you wake up one morning and decide you'll be an economic powerhouse as it relates to E&P, logistics and marketing.

Many jurisdictions, inlcuding a few in Canada have managed to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to lease sales, royalty regiemes, public JV's with industry, logistics anlaysis asset deployment etc. People in AB derseve alot of credit for positioning themselves into the spot they are in today.
