If you want solution to everything, vote for GOD. Otherwise, just pick the party that's less evil.

Well that was only the point of my post above. Glad you took the time to read through it and catch that.

They have costed everything and even though you don't agree with what they wrote you can't pretend it wasn't done.
The magic bullet of the left - INCREASE SPENDING - has been tried for over a decade with basically no results to speak of. It's time to try something else and the Wildrose offers the only different perspective than the other four leftwing parties.
Once again, cutting spending does not equal cutting services. Increasing taxes only deals with one side of an equation where the problem is not, and never has been revenue, but SPENDING.

Perfect, got a link to back that up? I read through the "budget" and nothing was costed there. In fact it was no better than the just released Alberta Party platform that is also not costed and I have no idea how it would be funded.
You're right that cutting spending doesn't always equal cutting services, and I'm not arguing that. Just explain where all the money will come from to do this though. Remember that I'm not in favour of using one time revenues from resources to fund tax breaks for this generation at the expense of those to come. That's a huge problem with the allegedly fiscal conservative Wildrose Alliance platform IMO.
