They were in a boom until about 2009.
I'm not sure how Alberta is doing now, I've heard that there has been some recovery.
Incidentally, Alberta has the most beautiful roads for cycling I've ever encountered anywhere I've been. I miss those roads so much, and would love for Tasmania to have just one road of the quality of Alberta roads. I'd ride it all the time!!
