The way to get an airplane onto the ground is to fly it onto the ground, not to try to stop it in the air, which you cannot do, though you will cause it to crash by trying. Perhaps it is the same with oil economies. Simply halting the production of oil and trade in oil and access to oil may be a vision or even a goal but as a plan, I doubt it can work.

Perhaps people think logic will win the day ... their own particular logic, and folks in Alberta are as guilty of that as anyone. But realistically  we will likely overbuild and then shrink back. It will be like fortresses built after the war of 1812 and never used. I don't know that it can be done in any other way. Premier Notley's responsibility is to lead and serve Alberta. If she is not re-elected, then the good folks of British Columbia will have the pleasure of working through this whole thing with Alberta led by  Jason Kenney and his "united right" invention. At some level it is probably that simple.
