Of course all that matters. The effect of tax rates largely outpaces any effects of a slight reduction in provincial government spending but that's beside the point.
Only one person (or side of the political spectrum perhaps?) continually insinuates the Wildrose platform projections were the only ones off. That's why it's important to mention the Liberals' imaginative projections and bring some reality to the debate.
