Would be much smarter than pretending we are hurting for Revenue all while spending like drunken sailors.
The entire point is that the PC party spend like the NDP while crying wolf about low revenues and needing to fix 'infrastructure deficit'/underpaid public service etc. etc.
If people really wanted this level of service, we should be seeing the tax bill. I strongly agree with you that people wouldn't want that level of taxation, and would agree to some cuts to the nutso spending.
Bribing us with resource revenue should be illegal.
