It was a great outcome for a great province. Isn't it time for the leader of the opposition to call it quits? I realize ignorance is bliss but she should just go home, sit in the dark and quietly consume her bud light....

When the woke crowd gets in the come after us. They go after our guns ,take away our freedoms and money. They destroy our industry and businesses and give their supporters everything the can.
But when we win its like at least we will be left alone for four years.
It would be so nice if these woke experts got what is coming to them.

There is people in Alberta that want to separate from one of the best countries in the world. That would be a disaster.
The province of Alberta has to cooperate with Ottawa either through t compromises or trade or how ever that should work. That is just the way it is it is all part of being a country. Danny Turn Coat is elected hopefully she does a good Job of unifying alberta with Canada.

Unless you are Quebec. Spoken like a true dipper. It's people like you that are content with Alberta being taken advantage by Ottawa. The status quo may be fine with you.....

Like it or not the oil and gas industry is loosing ground. If alberta does not deversify or use resources to its full potential one day we will be asking for the hand out.

There's a lot of bigger "small towns" in Central Alberta that have great teachers with conservative values. Olds, Innisfail, Lacombe, Ponoka, Sylvan Lake, Stettler to name a few. Depending what your son's taking at NAIT he could also probably transfer to Red Deer Polytechnic.

I don't know if you've noticed but Alberta has been diversifying under the UCP.

Amazon headquarters, Dehaviland Manufacturing Plant, strong Film industry. If we continue doing what we're doing our economy will naturally diversify.

Projections are, that the demand for oil won't peak until at least 2050. Then it will stabilize, and then start to decrease. So oil won't be going away anytime soon.

Doesn't seem to be a disaster for Quebec.

We all want a cleaner planet but most of us recognize reality and what it takes to realistically get there. Sigh........

You can find any answer you want to find on the internet if you look for it.
Eventually green power will start to impact the oil industry. Have to think of the future of the province 30 years by your info isn’t that far away.

The key word being "eventually". Anyone that has a clue about the generation and transmission of electricity, knows that the electric vehicle transition can't possibly occur in the time frame that idiots like Trudeau and Biden want, yet there are still plenty of fools that believe what those idiots are telling them. And it will be a long time before we have electric aircraft to replace the jet traffic across the oceans every day, or electric cargo ships to replace the super sized cargo ships bringing goods across the ocean from China. And we still need a way to recycle all of the batteries, and we don't have a practical cost effective method to do that yet.

Gas and oil isn't going anywhere quick, it will take decades for the transition and it will never be a complete transition. As technology improves so will the efficiency and cleanliness of petroleum products. We will find out in the future that electric everything is not near as clean as they forecast and that good old reliable gas and oil in a great many applications is 'greener'.

I am not sure what the some of the far left in Alberta are smoking these days but fossil fuel is not going away for along time. If your house and your electric car is not a zero emission grid then please do us all a favor and stfu please....

I’m not sure what industry we could diversify into. We can’t get enough workers now at $40/hr so it would have to be a very profitable industry to complete with the patch.

Passed through Jasper on my way home a couple weeks ago. Very disappointing to see so many orange signs in yards and on fences, buildings etc. Guess I won't be stopping there any more on my way to/from work. I'm not going to knowingly support a dipper held town.

Should there be a wall around Redmonton? Use the Henday as a base for the wall?

The henday is too uneven to be a stable base

They spray for mosquitoes in some cities like Winnipeg. Maybe a spray could be developed for dippers. Test it in Ottawa first.
