We live in a debt free province pulling in surpluses left right & centre every year, there is plenty of money in the provincial coffers. What is needed is for your namesake Eddie our buddy to loosen up the purse strings and start spending that money - to attract more doctors and nurses and more teachers to Alberta, to give the cities more funding to pay contractors who will hire the labour needed for these infrastructures.
More money SPENT always solves the problem, but more money in the government treasury locked up and not being utilized does not. Why do you think Bronco is always crying for money? It's all there locked up in Ed's safe. Would you need more money if you were Bill Gates? Start worrying about how to SPEND the obscene amount of money you have first before worrying about what is the best way to duplicate the NEP legacy of the Trudeau era.
