Just a note that Alberta is not a poor province, and in fact has the highest GDP per capita of all the Canadian provinces. (Nunavut and the NWT have higher GDPs due to their large mining sector combined with tiny populations.) We also have the highest electricity bills of any Canadian province. The issue in Alberta is corporate grift and a hegemonic government that has a revolving-door arrangement with oil and gas companies.
