The facts are clear. Alberta has far outspent all provinces on Capital Spending since 1997, including basically doubling the amount the average province spends over the past decade.
And what do we have to show for this? The best road networks in Canada? The best schools? Hospitals?
Not really. Most of what we have seen is a reflection of our bloated public sector. Wasteful spending. Lost efficiency. And a lack of deliverability to the front line. When you get a blank cheque the money seems to dissapear... and it's never enough.
So as much as you may want to pretend that lack of funding is an issue, it clearly is not. Alberta overfunds most things, and the 'spend till it's gone' mantra advocated by the PC, Liberal and NDP parties is NOT working for Alberta.

Yeah, it's pretty brutal how much spending is required after the fact to make up for Klein's spending cuts.
