To be clear, in no way would I suggest that Albertans are not hard working people in general. I have a very strong work ethic and I attribute it to my upbringing in the construction industry in Calgary during lean economic times when you were lucky to have a job and knew that there was someone hungry waiting to take it from you if you didn't perform.
