LIBERALS' ATTENTION ON ONTARIO VOTES

   There is no comparison between what happened in Ontario on Monday — the announced closing of a General Motors assembly plant — and the massive pain in Alberta’s oilpatch since 2014.
   Before getting into it, let’s be clear that Albertans take no joy in other Canadians losing their jobs.
  Albertans often ask themselves how Ottawa would react if our provincial crisis suddenly hit Ontario. Reporters and politicians would probably collapse, frothing in hysteria.
By some estimates, more than 40,000 workers lost their jobs after the 2014 oil price crash began. Up to 100,000 people may have lost direct and related work in Alberta and other provinces.
