Given I drive to the Peace Country at least ten times a year, and never to Fort Mac, I like the plans just fine.

However, the 43 is being twinned because of Alberta's commitment to the CanAMex Highway system. Ditto the SW leg of Anthony Henday Drive in Edmonton, and the rapid building of interchanges on Deerfoot, and the south extention to Deerfoot.

The 43 leads to Alaska, the 63 dead ends.

As far as not being in danger of losing an election, there is also the "legacy" idea. Klein is retiring, and probably wants to go out on a positive note. Klein wants Albertans to be touchy feely happy. I'dve rather the $400 million that is going to Calgarians going towards expanding the LRT (ie: build the tunnels under 8th Ave or the West/SE legs). Klein probably would have been just as popular, and the benefit would have been greater.
