I heard that Alberta didn't actually sign a contract with Bird construction yet so at the very least taxpayers will not be on the hook for a large amount (if it is true that no contract was signed). Not that that makes it any better.
Again, if this was about fiscal conservatism then the project wouldn't have been in the cards back in February, before the election. The wr ridings are the first to be cut, rather than say terminating evan berger's contract (to start).
