We need a leader to unite
A strong Alberta is a strong Canada, as they say. To prove the point, some intellectual projections and comparisons have been made to drive the point home.
In an analysis of what Canada would have looked like without Alberta going through an economic recession since 2014, University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe calculated that it has cost Canada $130 billion per year – roughly enough to eliminate the entire federal debt sitting at $700 billion. But that is if Alberta was still booming.
The study results released Monday also looked at how Canada’s economy would have fared if Alberta’s recent recession had never happened and, instead, the provincial economy had simply matched British Columbia’s growth from 2014 to 2019 . . . contd.
