Yeah, today is nowhere near as bad as the 90s. On virtually any metric.
There is a lot of bitching at the moment but it's really more that people think things should be better than they are, and not really that they're really bad.
Even in Alberta (dare I say) things aren't really "bad". They're just not booming so to people used to boomtime, they appear bad.
