Did you know that our provincial government recently claimed that it's too late to increase royalties because the boom is over... do they know something we don't?

Perhaps, but the city cannot wait any longer. The projects were desperately needed and there should be several more major ones undertaken.
The provincial government may know something we dont... or they are as dysfunctional and mismanaged as ever. Easy Eddie...
The "boom creates the bust" is so profound...you mean the economy is cyclical? The boom is incredible, but I dont think the bust is imminent or as dramatic as feared. I think stabilizing is a more accurate description.
