I would recommend giving this a read.

My understanding of kermitologys original post was more blame oriented onto Albertans for supporting the oil and gas industry. It seemed to insinuate Albertans are wrong for supporting the industry that economically supports the bedrock of finances for the province and I think it’s quite a strange position detached from reality. Oil and gas companies serve a market demand, so, seems to me like there’s an industry that’s required there. Pretending that there are some external powers and forces causing this effect is also an odd position but I’ll read what you posted, thanks.
