Overview
This documentary focuses on boom-and-bust economic cycles, most notably that of Alberta oil during the '70s and early '80s.

When Newfoundland was faced with a possible oil boom of its own in the mid-'80s, it took the lessons of Alberta to heart. Part 3 of the series, Reckoning: The Political Economy of Canada.
