Look at health care. How much money was injected..... And how little the quality of service has actually improved.

Which just goes to show how inefficient the public sector is at getting results.
Makes you wonder if you could get the same services with less spending, why not....spend less? Shocking, I know, but hey...if you can't afford it....
Of course, the PCs love spending, and Alberta has, and still has to a point(savings)...money to blow, so instead of fixing the inefficiencies and getting more bang for you buck, just throw more money at it.
Most people that have relocated from Alberta to other provinces will come back and tell you how good Albertans have it. Obviously the oil money has a lot to do with that, but other provinces are spending considerably less, and are trying and at times succeeding at making the most of it.
