Post 2019 election comment

The election confirmed regional divisions. Alberta especially feels aggrieved that the rest of Canada doesn't want to bail them out. Yet Alberta is still better off than the rest of Canada, despite its oil-patch downturn. It also has a far more diversified economy than the oil-funded spin doctors will ever admit. It has reliable wind power, the knowledge base for a thriving high-tech economy,  and oil capital sloshing around looking in the wrong places for investment. Its agriculture thrives. In other words, Alberta is well-placed to lead Canada in the conversion from oil to renewables. It should begin to do so.

Quebec's Bloc will push Quebec interests and priorities. Quebec like Ontario, has a nearly green electric grid. both export much of their electricity, and could export more. Both  have a sound manufacturing and service economy. Both have the knowledge base, and Ontario the resources,  for a high tech sector that could compete internationally. IOW, these Provinces could co-operate wth Alberta in rebuilding Canada's economy. They should begin to do so.

Is the above image of a rosy future justified? Objectively considered, yes. However, regional grievances could, I fear, prevent the inter-Provincial co-operation that would heal those grievances. I hope  that co-operation and healing will happen. All it takes a few people to start talking to each other instead of past each other
