To a "T". Thats interesting. How does the fact that they are not going to balance the budget fit that definition? I have yet to hear a contradiction to my point that they are somewhere between $200M-$600M away from a balance budget, and that's based on their own figures.
To add to that, Alberta can still be the lowest taxed jurisdiction in the country, which happens to fit the fiscal conservatism definition you are using (off wikipedia of all places!). It doesn't mean that taxes can never go up, it means low taxes....which we would still have!
