As usual, excellent and balanced analysis! Thank you. I would just make one point and that is that while Peter Lougheed had the foresight to initiate the fund, and to support it, every conservative premier since, has squandered that legacy. Underneath that failure is the considerable and continual fiscal mismanagement that has continued to this day. And the only people who have benefitted have been the donors and cronies of the conservatives governments - to the detriment primarily to that part of the population that this same government views as “undeserving,” lazy, non-contributing, a drain.

The comparison between the 3 games, helps me understand what DS thinks she is doing and why she is in the place she is.

Although she is still also playing checkers as the 400 billion number is within the 500 billion amount offered to the separatists from the US. So she is still keeping the separatist dream alive if just barely.

Namaste, sister. That is a fair takeaway without the vertical dispatch telling you, lol. https://www.sophiainitiative.ai/p/we-found-each-other?r=1pgr4n&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Excellent analysis. I was aware of the Norway/Alberta difference, but a lot of this is a new way to look at the scenario. Thank you for this insight.

GULP! ... that's the game that MAGA Trump is playing called DEVOUR, as they eat-up all the oil-based land they can and spit-out the people and leave a mess. Kind-of like Venezuela.
