There is some weird ideas about the NEP in Alberta. Growing up in Alberta and living there for the first 35 years of my life I have heard a bunch of them.
I remember in undergrad doing a presentation on the National Oil Policy. My prof said that it is actually called the National Energy Policy. I said no, it is called the National Oil Policy and it is in reference to the 12 year period that Ontario and every province west of Ontario had to buy overpriced Alberta oil to ensure that Alberta would actually have an oil industry. I feel like my Canadian history prof actually had to go home to do research because he had never heard of the NOP.
