You are correct, however that's mainly because of the dipshit Kenney and his minions who only views things through some Ben Shapiroesque ideology rather than reality. With a different leadership, even a conservative one, things might be different. Before my time in Alberta, but I understand that in the good old days of high oil prices the government would have contemplated big infrastructure projects.
