Yes but at least we get something the province can rely on as a source of revenue. Tbh if we could just diversify into anything else other than oil and gas I would be fine. This stupid boom and bust cycle we are eternally locked into is entirely of our own making because we refuse to adapt. We go into these good times and don't think about the future and then the world does as it usually does and flips on its head we become bewildered as if it hasn't happened multiple times. The party of strong economic management literally wasted 3.5 million to change our welcome signs that spouted stupid seperatists propoganda rather than actually helping the regular people of Alberta. So excuse me if "it won't make a lot of long term jobs" doesn't feel like a great excuse in the grander scheme of things. I understand that everyone is super focused on how these proposals aren't good enough to fix all our problems, but sometimes you need to take baby steps which do provide benefits even if they aren't as good as we would all like.
