The "joke" Gary is your complete  ignorance of the facts.  BC not having the benefit of the oil patch? Do you actually live in Canada?Have you even heard of the town of Fort St. John?  How about he montney formation - in BC?  

More accurately, BC enjoys immense economic their from oil and gas production.  AB vs BC? BC boasts some of the best mining, fisheries, lumber, and climate of any province.  They also have ports, with access to world markets. Canada not just Alberta derive great benefit from our resources, so please do not suggest Albertans are the ones spending resource revenue.(its called transfer payments) I could write further however, Gary is so out of touch it is somewhat embarrassing. 
There must be something less divisive he can write about.

I have seen people losing their jobs, their homes, an increase strain on mental health resources, domestic shelters, increased suicide rates (2 parents in last 12 months at my children's school). I choose to feel sorry for Alberta.
