Norway and Alberta both struck oil. One built a $1.6 trillion sovereign wealth fund and future-proofed their nation. The other? Still slashing budgets and wondering where the money went.
This short breaks down the epic difference between long-term planning and short-term politics. While Norway invested its oil wealth globally and spent only the returns, Alberta treated its Heritage Fund like a rainy-day wallet — and it's been raining hard ever since.
💰 Norway’s Fund: $1.6 TRILLION
💸 Alberta’s Fund: Under $20 BILLION
📉 Alberta: Boom, bust, repeat
📈 Norway: Quiet, steady, rich
This isn’t about oil. It’s about leadership. And this is what happens when one side thinks 50 years ahead — and the other thinks four years ahead.
