I recall a bumper sticker, popular in Calgary back in the 80’s, that read “Lord, give us another boom and I promise not to piss it all away again”. Another boom did come, and a third, but behaviors never changed. Nor did the attitude that when times were tough it was someone else’s fault - especially Ottawa’s - and when times were good it was all thanks to a Alberta’s free enterprise spirit. Let’s face facts: there will always be good times and bad times, and bad times are not someone else’s fault. Use the good times to be better prepared...and try not to “piss it all away”. Again.
