Not just to prop up O&G company stock prices, but also to further their long-running process of tying absolutely every Albertan's financial well-being to O&G. Right now, if O&G drops, yeah, Albertans will lose jobs and the province's social services go unfunded, but they still have CPP to rely on. With this change, their retirement will also vanish.
The more they go "all in" on O&G, the more every voter in Alberta absolutely NEEDS the O&G industry to remain profitable. Keep that going, and the political party that is most pro-O&G will stay in power perpetually.
