I think using 2015 as your bench mark year for Calgary is misleading based on the oil price crash. Due to the significant decline in oil prices in real dollars a significant GDP decline was likely especially given how much ahead Alberta was of the ROC in 2015. 2014 averaged $97 a barrel which is $125 in todays dollars whereas oil today is $80
