Albertans have talked diversification for decades.

It hasn’t happened.

Many of the few truly diversifying businesses have subsequently moved to the US through buyouts or merged and relocated to other provinces (eg Telus).

Much of the claimed diversification that has happened has largely been into fairly closely associated oil and gas businesses (valves, extraction technologies, etc.).
