Not sure what your belief has to do with anything.
Regardless of that, no sane investor would put all their money into a single sector. If you have an investment advisor that suggests you pour everything into a one type of investment, I'd have a hard time believing you wouldn't fire them on the spot.
The city is no different nor should it be any different, even if only to ensure stability during price swings to say nothing of the fact that we really don't know how long we can actually continue to depend to singularly on the oilsands - and not even necessarily because of a shortage.
One need look no further than the province's heavy dependence on resource royalties for revenue and how well that works out for stable budgeting. It's utterly insane and not a model anyone should be following.
