Your insinuation that there is a huge infrastructure deficit is not based on fact, but leftwing talking points. Opening up some of our services to private delivery could solve many of these issues regardless.

Growth in spending has been mainly in Salaries and benefits for public sector employees. The wasting of our revenue dollars has been on paying for pensions and raises, which definately has not helped our health or education systems.

Reduction of waste and focus on efficiency is the only way to improve our services. It's time for a Wildrose government.

Really? A left-wing talking point that there is an infrastructure deficit? Pretty clearly we can't have an adult conversation about these things because you can't even see where the problems are. I don't know where you live, but just drive around Calgary during rush hour. Or maybe have a a walk through some of the schools or hospitals in the your area. You don't have to go far at all to see where aging infrastructure needs repair/replacement or to be built in the first place.

If that desrire for effective public infrastucture makes me a left-winger in your eyes, so be it. I would just note that effective infrastructure makes Alberta a place where business can operate more effectively and efficiently.
