Alberta recently reached the highest oil production in history.
Alberta’s oilsands to hit record production high in 2025 | RCI
The oilsands continue to pump out more crude and more greenhouse gas.

Why are Albertan oil communities so angry? If oil production boomed under Justin Trudeau, why do they claim he hurt Alberta?
This Reuters article explains what’s really going on. It’s not for workers. It’s for rich investors. Yet there is plenty of interesting content.
Basically, Alberta oil executives brag they engaged in massive labor cost-cutting (firing people) and they replaced unionized workers by robots and automation
This explains the amount of anger coming out from Alberta.
The Alberta oil economy is thriving. It’s the people who aren’t.
Many Alberta oil communities lost their well paying jobs. But they (wrongly) believe it’s because environmental laws / Justin Trudeau reduced Alberta oil production.
Danielle Smith and the separatists perfectly understand this.
How Canada's oil sands transformed into one of North America's lowest-cost plays
Giant shovels, driverless trucks and a dog-like robot have all helped Canada's oil sands companies including Imperial Oil and Suncor become some of North America's lowest-cost oil producers, driving down overheads even as the worst inflation in a generation pushed U.S. shale costs up.

A lot of Albertans complain about the equalization payments and also been gloating about multi billion provincial surplus.
They can’t seem to put things to together enough to realize even with all that oil money it still doesn’t make their life better.
It’s just this modern day Conservative thing of them being miserable cunts and everyone needs to be miserable with them.

If this were a post about a single article, I’d agree, but I think this is an OC post that cites 2 articles, so Instance Rule 1 doesn’t apply

…and the crap that makes these people happy; loud obnoxious cars and boats, McMansions, guns, are all really detrimental to everyone else.

The Alberta oil economy is thriving
There’s no such thing as an Alberta oil economy. Most of the shareholders in the Alberta oil companies are foreign. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/august-2023/foreign-oil-companies/

It’s not “a lot of Albertans”. It’s conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn’t pay a dime into equalization.

Here is an additional report on the foreign ownership of Alberta’s oil production. It’s the prime example of how Canada is treated as a resource colony by the USA.
