Albertans are younger and better educated than the rest of Canada. And our provincial finances are in better shape. Even with the price of oil tanking, you haven't seen a mass exodus out of the province because where is everyone going to go? Toronto and Vancouver are prohibitively expensive, especially for people interested in raising families, and the economy is as bad or worse than Alberta's in the rest of the country.
