520 _aThis paper addresses how measures of economic prosperity can be used to create an economic crisis. I undertake an ethnostatistical analysis of a speech by the Premier of Alberta to address how rhetoric is used to construct a “bitumen bubble” as an emergent crisis threatening the economic prosperity of Alberta. Textual practices, metaphors and exclusions are found to be key rhetorical practices that are used to construct the economic prosperity, the bubble and economic crisis. Construction of economic crises can thus be used to create political opportunities for organizational change.
