That's a good question. This will have an impact beyond the Alberta border. Thousands of people from this area, eastern Canada live or commute to jobs in the northern oil patch. Many young people from here head to Alberta for a better future and financial security. I know lots of them and if I was younger I would be one of them. There are tough times ahead and a very uncertain future for some. Sad.
