Premier Rachel Notley pledged that Alberta will "lead again," despite the economic challenges it's facing now, in a major speech on Wednesday.
"We've taken some hard economic knocks from the international price of oil, but nobody knocks Alberta down for long," the premier said in her state of the province address.
Wildrose energy critic Leela Aheer said that, regardless of the impact of oil prices on the province's economy, the government has taken steps to make things worse. "We're looking at policies that are hurting Albertans right now … minimum wage and carbon taxes and all these other things that we've been talking about that are so impactful on Albertans right now."
