Good for Notley for trying. A U.S. tariff on Alberta products to the U.S. would really deliver a bumpy ride to Alberta's fragile recovery. The collapse in the world price of oil and gas exposed how badly Alberta's finances have been managed for the last 20 years or so.  The province's operating expenses haven't been covered by its tax base so the shortfall was made up through oil royalties and dipping into savings. When prices collapsed, the chickens came home to roost. Now, Jason Kenny is trying to hoodwink Albertans into returning to some mythical past built on quicksand.
