There's no proof, period. Either number could be right, but we don't know.
There's no proof the CCS cancellation is still worth 2 billion. There's no proof the liberals can raise a billion dollars of corporate taxes without hurting the economy. But it doesn't matter. Either you take the assumptions of every party, or you throw them all out. But your partisan claim that ONLY the wildrose has made a bad assumption is just politics.

Well that's just ignoring the obvious though. There is a set amount of school fees collected; you can get and use an accurate number for items like that. Same goes for CCS; we know how much money has been spent (and can estimate how much would be spent by the time the project is cancelled if it is).
You can deny that, or say there is no proof, but that is just intellectually dishonest. While we might not be accurate right to the penny, we have information that suggests fairly accurate figures and the Wildrose has chosen to ignore these and claim a balanced budget.
That's why we're arguing in circles; you have no desire to actually look at the platform with numbers that are accurate because the budget won't balance. Instead you only want to talk about how bad the other parties are and how they're budgets are wrong. I say let the Wildrose budget stand for itself, and if it can actually balance given the more accurate information than so be it.
