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?

And how much damage was done to health care and education when Chretien/Martin gutted transfer payments to balance the federal budget?

Ah, yes. "Look how bad the Liberals are! They're worse than everyone else..."

The question is: how much of the "social damage" that the Federal Liberals caused are you blaming on Ralph?
Is it Alberta's fault it didnt deficit spend to cover the mess the Liberals created, or is it Ottawa's?
