Alberta economy has been eaten away by the bad bad policies of our federel Government . So what can we do to accelerate our economy? I thought God has blessed Alberta with world’s most beautiful places . I thought we can cash in on by promoting tourism in Alberta outside Canada. However, before that , we need to build infrastructure such as high speed rail network from jasper to Fort Mcmurray via banff, calgary and Edmonton. I appeal to our provincial Govt to please look into these alternative solutions to promote our Economy.
