In this commentary, originally published in the Toronto Star, Centre for Future Work Director Jim Stanford rebuts claims that the living standards of Albertans have been harmed by “attacks” on the province’s oil industry (as claimed by Conservative leaders Andrew Scheer and Pierre Poilievre). In fact, the province’s oil output (and the profits of the oil industry) have never been higher.
Considering they’ve been on the forefront of privatizing and dismantling said system for decades… 🤷
It’s still way more public here than in most provinces. Or at least, moreso than Ontario and BC.
