There are a few things I disagree with in this point.
1. I don't see the connection between increased spending and corruption.
2. There was a deficit due to a global recession resulting in decreased revenues from taxes and royalty revenues from energy sources. To say that is unacceptable is ignorant of the economic climate and merely looking at one aspect of the budget/economy in order to determine the responsibility of the budgeting. I know since the days of Ralph Klein it was always, debt is awful, can't have any debt blah, blah, blah... but the world isn't that simple, sometimes debt is necessary and spending can help stimulate the economy as well as get projects done when the cost of material and labour is cheaper than in a hot market, even though there is more revenue coming in...
Are the inefficiencies in government spending, there sure are and those should be dealt with, but I have little confidence in the Wild Rose Party to do that with Health Care Plans including shipping people out of province.
