From the beginning I supported the initial Conservative budget and I thought that any sort of bailout is premature. SebC has astutely put it best, that Alberta really doesn't have influence in any party.

I'm not going to like the budget if it has this new "Quebec Money" in it. It isn't needed and now is not the right time for huge spending on pet political projects.
That said, it would show that the Conservatives are compromising and are listening to the opposition.
"They Conservatives have spent the most money and aren't compromising"... sure they aren't. How many times have they moved from their position due to political pressure, even before this $1.95/vote fiasco? Too many for my liking, but that is the nature of minority parliaments. Too bad most of that is going under the radar.
