The most glaring example is the situation with the new South Calgary Health Campus; Klein blew up the General Hospital and literally within weeks beagn speaking about the need for another hospital.

Infrastructure spending isn't a one-time deal. We'll never be "done" building/renovating.
Also, the south hospital was necessary for reasons of location whether or not the General was kept. Otherwise the further south hospital in the city was rockyview. How many people live south of that, ~400,000?
