On March 18 an article entitled "Alberta comes back to earth" ran on the website for The Globe and Mail. The article itself was discussing the economic slowdown in Alberta following the insanity of the past few years -- nothing new.

One thing that did catch my eye when reading that article was one of the reader comments:

I blame Trudeau and the NEP...

I thought that the comment was very succinct, in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. I don't know if that was written by an Albertan or not, but I agree with what the comment's author is trying to say. There is a point in time when Albertans need to stop blaming external foes from the past for our problems, and start looking at our enemies from within.
