Let's finish off the quote you cut off : ,"While the blowout headline advance no doubt exaggerates the underlying strength in growth, the fact is that every single major surprise for the economy this year has been to the upside,” Porter said."

How does that not sound so good?  In fact, the very quote you feature, says just that, if you bother to acually read the whole thing and/or not try to pull a fast one on us by out-of-context fragmentary statements. 

Your argument is thin, friend. Things are booming. I have no problem with Alberta booming. It certainly blows a hole in the whole Notley/Trudeau fantasy the Right keeps trying to sell.
