As many people have mentioned, the rebates are great for people of low income. They can make a difference.
I'm just wondering what makes the WRA so sure it's going to have surpluses? Oil is a decent price now and we have a deficit. Sure something can be cut or streamlined, but they are also talking about improving and spending in other areas. Especially reading their platform on things like education. Some of their ideas are really good, but I don't think they have a clue on what they would cost. And all that while maintaining or cutting taxes. At least when the left talks about spending on things they are honest that there will have to be some tax increases somewhere. (Usually business in Alberta)
They are definitely suffering from 'magic wand' delusions. But I won't be too upset if they do win, might as well shake things up. Maybe we can go Liberal, or NDP the four years after that! Haha.
