Jobs, Canada down, U.S. Up

Matching supply to the markets ability to move it to the customer is a good business decision. Over production is not. Uncontrolled booms lead to inflation with higher production costs and over supply that come back to bite. Peter Lougheed would have supported slower growth and better planning. And putting away a significant amount of revenue for the eventual bust.

It always amazes me how those on the left worship Peter Lougheed. Myself I certainly thought he was a good leader but with all the rural hospitals he built and his love of crown corporations, what he built was unsustainable. He retired at just the right time and let Don Getty deal with the large deficits that were created by what Peter Lougheed had built. As for putting away more energy royalties for future generations I certainly agree.
