Blake Shaffer, assistant professor of economics at the University of Calgary, told The Narwhal in February the expansion of metallurgical-coal mining in Alberta is an example of the province “chasing the next thing that’s going to die.”

Man, it's fascinating, in a sad way, to see Alberta do this over, and over again. It's like every chance they get to rule the roost of a new green product, they refuse, block it, and then chase some industry that's winding down.
