Having a large oil supply so close to the United States should help lower the price of oil in the future. Since oil will not have to be shipped from the middle east, and we have a free trade agreement in north america, I can see the possibility of oil going lower and staying lower. Canada should be in a good position money wise, which is good for them since their government funds their health program. I would have guessed Canada last in line for where the next big oil discoveries will be found.

There are still alcoholism problems among the Inuit of the north.
Why don't other provinces follow Alberta's Savings and Retirement Fund to increase their standard of living?
I am not advocating socialism. I believe in capitalism. But the one problem with capitalism is that it's very self-centered and is never holistic.
