Critics are calling for a public inquiry into the actions of the Alberta Energy Regulator, after documents surfaced suggesting the agency downplayed the industry's environmental liabilities and withheld information on those costs.

Well this ain’t good. Who is going to want to invest in a province that knowingly deceives investors? (nevermind the electorate, we don’t matter)

    I feel like the whole investing game is just stupid and dishonest. Investors probably know they’re being deceived almost everywhere, but the point is to get your ROI and get out, leaving someone else holding the liability when it gets called in. Fankly, the investors are probably in on the scheme! Hide the facts so you can pump up the asset and sell off before it comes to light.

    The electorate keeps willingly falling over themselves at the polls to elect morons, and fully deserves everything that’s coming to them. Including more of this horseshit. Just remember this with every headline, Alberta voted for this.
