I don't see the big deal. Alberta's current account balance is, (not confirmed) larger than the deficit.

People get all agitated because they think that a government being in debt is the same situation as personally in debt. They aren't the same. Why not borrow now when interest rates and costs (human, materials )are low? If it will lead to growth then you pay off the debt then.
