Nehkara, I sincerely hope your job is safe.

The Province is bleeding red ink, and the Alberta health-care budget is enormous at 10.8 billion - which is apparantly the highest per capita spending in Canada.

I attended a talk a few years ago in Edmonton, and the figures there showed that in terms of "bang vs. bucks spent", Alberta's health-care performance was miserable in comparision to other Provinces, and other countries.

Any thoughts as to why that is the case...I'm genuinely curious.
