I love this. Conservatives are in office. But liberals are at fault.
I think the real problem was that when aggressive debt payment was occuring in the late 90s and early 2000s we weren't actually building the necessary infrastructure for a fast growing province when it was cheap. Then all the sudden a big boom comes along, government realizes we're effed because we fell 10-15 years behind in infrastructure and then builds it when the economy and costs are at an all time high. As a result projects cost double what they would have if built only a few years before that. Example A; South Hospital.
