Everyone with 1/10 of a brain knows that the only reason Alberta is doing strongly is because of the oil and gas sector and SOLEY because of the oil and gas sector. Perhaps their economy if finally diversifying, but that said, it still doesn't change the fact the CURRENT economic boom is due to the oil and gas sector. Period. Those who deny this factor are clearly delusional and insecure, perhaps this is why Stelmach made the comment in the first place. |
Yes oil is one economy with a massive monster spike right now however I believe the two provinces have similar economies outside of that, if you could provide a link to these studies you reference it would be appreciated as a number of posters seem to think that their province is far more diverse than the other.
