Ontario's manufacturing industry carried Alberta's ass for a very long time (and this coming from someone originally born in Red Deer, Alta).
It wasn't until technology caught up with a viable method to extract oil from the tar sands that Alberta finally started to carry its own weight for a change.
Its all cyclic. The worst thing we can do is think in terms of "us" and "them" between provinces. What will Alberta do when they've dried up all the water reserves it takes to flush the oil from the sand?
