shinguard, you make it sound like poor old Ralphie was working in a coal mine to make extra money to pay off the provincial debt. Care to discuss his beatification? sheesh.
Klein was the Premier at the time the final schedule was set for paying off Alberta's provincial debt but it's not like he is the only reason that it happened. His governments cut funding to social programs and then reaped the benefits of escalating oil prices.
Yes, Alberta is debt free but at what social cost?

So everything that goes wrong is his fault and nothing that goes right is because of things he has done. I never said he was the sole reason but he continued the plan and was the leader who saw it finally paid off. I will give him credit for that. And all this whinning about at what social cost?? I see no cost at all. In fact I would like to see some of the social spending cut back. He has taken steps to try and improve health care by allowing private health and has been held back by Ottawa.

I agree. They should quit wasting money on schools and teachers. In fact, close down a school or two, herd all those AISH people into them and cut the benefits right off. This province just can't continue to throw money away on it's citizens. [/b][/quote]
Thank you.
