Not really.  It's just more stereotypical carping by the eastern media who conveniently ignore that the Alberta economy is much more diverse than just the oil and gas sector. Even worse, they completely ignore how much of their provincial budgets come from equalization payments (from you know who), and as Steve and Boz pointed out thanks to the Ontario Liberals disastrous policies the province from which this editorial writer is so smugly penning this editorial will soon count the public service and service industries as the "engine" of their provincial economy.

Folks in heavily mortgaged glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones!
