RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Artificial diamonds ?????<<Are you questioning my statement that A;lberta is suffering from low oil prices?>>
I wasn't questioning it at all. I was just trying to point out that a strong US dollar (in a world of weak currencies and economies) would help Alberta and Canadian oil sources as US oil sources are expensive, relatively. But :

I think it was discussed here, some time ago, that the loans out to companies that use oil sands, and other exotic extraction methods, are in trouble with oil at these prices. As Hemingway said, "Bankruptcy happens gradually, then suddenly".
Your banks will let you know when they need to be bailed out.
I think Alberta's problem may be the ALP. We're almost done with Obama, would you like to have his help ?
GLTA. We will need it.
