Going back to 1970 the province has had 6 years where the royalty take was higher than this year. (I know inflation might add a couple of years to that list but not many) My concern is that I don't think it is raining very hard, gas prices are down but oil is high. It seems like things were great for a few years and we are basing everything on that.
What really got me looking for a new party was the 2008/2009 budget that showed a deficit when royalties were still as high as ever and a full billion dollars more than the previous year.
