Alberta’s ‘massive’ debt simply a myth

Re: “Alberta can’t keep spending beyond its means,” Opinion, May 10

Could someone please explain to me why nearly everyone thinks Alberta has this massive debt and is spending too much.

As of April 2019, Alberta has the second-lowest per capita debt ($11,912) of all the provinces in Canada with Newfoundland more than twice as high at $25,678. Ontario and Quebec also are over $22,000. What am I missing here?
