The problem with Alberta is there are so many uneducated rig pigs who didn't need to even graduate high school to get hired in the field, then worked for several years & now make huge money. People who would still be doing hard labor in any other province are the people with power here.

For the people who say Alberta is rich solely because of the oil, you should talk to any of the "liberal" programs that were slashed for years to try & bring our defecit down. Teachers, health care, social assistance programs - everything was cut. Now it's paid off & the money is starting to flow back in, but there are a lot of people who struggled during the "belt tightening" phase.
