“...Pretty sure it was a dig at The Alberta Prayer.<br /><br />“ Please God,<br />give us another oil boom,<br />We promise to not piss it away,<br />Like last time.”<br /><br />Norway had some fish, timber and minerals. They took their North Sea windfall, and to avoid Dutch Disease, stuck 60% in the Bank, 20% in Education and 20% in diversifying their economy.<br /><br />North Sea oil isn’t that important to Norway anymore.
