Jim Dinning neither gets nor doesn't get my voteWith respect to Alberta's debt free status and Dinning getting credit therefore, I would suggest its more realistic to think that OPEC, China (and Asia more generally), mother nature, the Russian government and legal system and the law of supply and demand who deserve the credit. As to Dinning stature, yes he is a good old boy in Alberta but I doubt whether this will be of much help on ONC's board. The Alberta government has a deplorable record in its support of venture enterprises, totally deplorable. Incidentally, and off topic, Alberta and Albertans would be much better off if their monies had been managed under either Alaska's and Norway's policies for oil monies -- much, much better off!!!!!!!
