Yet another sign that Stelmach is in totally over his head. He's not sure what kind of conservative he is... social or fiscal, and dithers in whatever direction the wind was blowing.
Upping the liquor tax was a dumb idea, repealing it so fast was simply an admission of such.
Just like the royalties. Upping them in 2008 when it was clear the US economy was about to recess was incompetent. Trying haphazardly to correct them only proves how dumb he is, and how correct foreign investors are to steer clear of Alberta until someone else is in charge.
