But what really did he do that was so great
He cut fat where it was needed. In a couple instances it was too much in the wrong spot, but he certainly didnt do what was "popular", instead doing what he said he would. Thats a "great" thing for any politician...no matter who you support.

Do you think there is any truth to the statement that he was simply lucky to have been in power when oil prices shot through the roof?
Towards the end of his office...sure! When he took over however, that was nothing to be "lucky" about.

What specifically did he do that was forward thinking and left Albertans in a better position than they would have been if another person was in power? Just asking.
That legacy is yet to be documented....but I will suggest he goes down as one of the top 2 premiers in Alberta history.

Homeless people shenanagins aside.
